Fashion &... Westwood

“Fashion is very important. It is life enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.”
Vivienne Westwood
A working-class girl from Northern England, Vivienne Westwood’s career has spanned over five decades.
Westwood has always embraced British culture while turning the establishment on its head and has used her fashion as a platform to showcase her cultural and environmental concerns.
Westwood is the Queen of the British Avant Garde. Her undying passion, originality and dogged perseverance proves that a true punk spirit never dies.
The designer has used her platform to raise awareness of environmental and human rights issues, incorporating her beliefs into her designs, painting her models with rallying slogans and donating a percentage of her sales to cultural, political and environmental causes.
Throughout her groundbreaking career, she has introduced a new vocabulary and language into fashion and has remained one of the most inventive and influential British fashion designers of all time.

I'd die for those rocking horse shoes. I love them so much. 😍 As always, great video!

[@Fashionand]

Glad you enjoyed!

Oh I would love to wear one of her lush ball gowns..... can you imagine!!!! ???? Hope you are well .... love from Australia

[@Fashionand]

I know! Her gowns from the 90s were stunning! Funny fact, it was 10 years ago this month I moved to Australia to work for a year! I miss it so!

I just paid for a low-level fashion history course advertised on FB (by "Art for Introvert" - I DO NOT recommend!!!). Your videos are so much more informative.

[@Fashionand]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed ❤️

[@theyarngoeson]

I’ve always thought Vivienne Westwood to be so incredibly interesting! She really is absolutely fascinating! Thank you for highlighting her career!

[@Fashionand]

Thank you! It was great to research! An amazing career! Glad you enjoyed 😊

[@flazeda8743]

Sorry for repeating it but I really think celeb fashion videos would bring you the audience you deserve ! ;) Now you give so much knowledge to a sadly moderate audience while fashion channels with some celebs looks videos get many people lured in then have them to check the rest of their content... Content that rarely is as informative as yours... Xoxo

[@Fashionand]

Thanks, I will give think about it

[@michak1251]

Great episode. Keep on doing this

[@Fashionand]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

[@moodyblue1953]

Okay Scott that was interesting but, lol, made me feel old. It wasn’t till the 1990s that I saw things I could appreciate. Love the variety of episodes, showing the progression of fashion as an art form. I would love you to do a episode on your journey from selection of subject, to research etc., not only educational but fascinating! Just a thought from a fan. Hope you are doing well, staying safe and having a ball.🌹

[@Fashionand]

Thanks Jean! That’s a good idea and one I might consider instead of a bloopers reel! Hope you’re well, stay safe 😊

[@Maf980]

[@Fashionand]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the episode

[@loretta_3843]

Naomi was lucky she didn't break her ankle in those shoes!

[@Fashionand]

I know! I don’t know if you know this or not but she was actually wearing rubber tights and that’s why she fell! 💜

@@Fashionand ooh! I couldn't have taken two steps in those. My mother has dainty little feet, my dad's were wide peasant clompers - guess which I take after😹
