From 2013: Vivienne Westwood, queen of punk fashion

Designer Vivienne Westwood, a guiding figure in the birth of Britain's punk movement in the 1970s, died on Thursday, Dec. 29, at the age of 81. In this profile originally broadcast on "CBS Sunday Morning" August 4, 2013, Westwood talked with correspondent Anthony Mason about the incendiary origins of punk rock, her rebellious take on fashion, and her shifting views of the royals.

I don't watch television. Just JEOPARDY and PBS. R.I.P VIVIENNE WESTWOOD!! You're gonna make God blush when he sees the angels in your clothes.

American Masters and American Experience on PBS are both really good.

A true original and innovator. Rest in power Vivienne 🧑‍🎤🌄💐

[@503punxoioioi9]

Oh, she dead. No one is going to know because they caught the Moscow Idaho murders guy and that is the biggest story right now.

[@user-bv7mk8id5t]

I wouldn’t say rest in power, considering her racist remarks that everyone had forgotten about. I still think she was a fashion icon, but I’m sorry I can’t forget that as much as I would like to.

[@laurastrobel718]

@@user-bv7mk8id5t What did she say and when did it happen?

[@lazerfocusedstriver9960]

@@user-bv7mk8id5t WHAT!!🤔🤔 I am confused. As a Woman of color. I went through my GRUNGE PERIOD; and, also Punk PERIOD back in the 90's. I was going to pick her as my number one choice in regard to Wedding Dresses; when I " thought that I met Mr. RIGHT/ Mr. Big " , when I was 35 - years old. Oscar De la Renta was my Second choice. Could you please share the details and information in regard to her Racist statement??

[@mattmayo3539]

Westwood gave Britain one of the most iconic styles of all time. What a life.

[@anne8511]

I love her and her designs are fabulous!

[@wongfrancis]

I really missed her so much! Been her fan for a long time and have a small collections of her clothes which last for years. I dearly hope her husband AK will carry on and make VW a great label in years to come, and not sold to another big company like many labels eventually did.

[@billyandrews1701]

GREAT INTERVIEW RIP Amor

[@andyroo9381]

WOW!

[@riobrasilsambashowssambist1453]

I have mad respect for her for telling us consumers to stop buying clothing; it is a huge source of waste and pollution

[@kenolivermiami]

I'll miss you and your candid look on fashion. Bravo on all you did to move the needle.

she has a low-volume voice here, suppose it's attractive tho one might strain to hear it

RIP

[@dgotguts]

Viv was a genius no if ands or buts.

[@dnavid]

she is more a monarch than QE2 and it's a shame she betrays herself as a sycophant of the sick minded Britisher monarchy.

[@503punxoioioi9]

Making garments for the poseur punks and rich folks. Shopping at a thrift store or making stuff yourself is more punk than buying "punk clothes" off a rack. Prefer American punk style: jeans, denim/leather jacket, plain tennis shoes or dress shoes, t-shirts, button up shirts, etc. The best book on punk "fashion" is We're Desperate: The Punk Rock Photography of Jim Jocoy, SF/LA 1978-1980. Even John Waters is photographed in that book! Everyone in that book has a different and unique look and that is more punk than everyone wearing Seditionaries muslins, bondage pants and safety pins. Ramones > Sex Pistols.

She looks like Madonna

[@Mari-lv1rd]

So entertaining, nothing close to the disgusting Balenciaga. Just punk rock, to change things up and down.

[@XavierKatzone]

Of course she meant to upset people! "Clothes for Heros"? 🤣 More like ZEROS! And made a Dame? Why didn't she stand by her "principles" (you know ... 💰💰💰) and turn it down?

[@beckystarrski]

6:05 Aw, see the little horns on her head whilst being made a “dame?” It must be for fashion.🧐

[@johannadawe2569]

I agree. Loved her clothes, but the hypocrisy is sickening

[@juliancoulden1753]

She was as mad as a box of frogs who just got lucky. Punk is an aberration best forgotten

[@jameswarhol442]

The anti-capitalist 100 million dollar Marxist, or how to make a career out of rolling out of bed, not showering, picking your clothes from a dumpster, and not combing your hair.

[@jujutrini8412]

I don’t recall her ever saying she was a Marxist.

[@nodubt4758]

Rest in peace !!! I Loved so much Vivienne passion for live her life such she want and she is now near by our wonderful Queen Elizabeth, I like to think that, sit near by our only father drinking a cup of tea and chatting about clothing and watch our majestic King Charles lll accompany and leading the UK 🇬🇧 to a bright future.
