Naomi Campbell Meets Vivienne Westwood | British Vogue

Dame Vivienne Westwood and Naomi Campbell will forever be linked by a moment in catwalk history: when the supermodel toppled off her vertiginous heels on Westwood's runway in Paris in 1993 (and reacted by throwing her head back in peals of laughter). But they have other things in common, too. Namely a shared passion for activism and philanthropy. Watch the video to see the long-time friends discuss social injustice and the threat of climate change - as well as what really caused fashion's most famous fall...

[@jonimccalla]

British Vogue is killing it . They seem very focus about who they are and provide content accordingly. I find American vogue to be all over the place.

[@lnterestingg]

Joni Mccalla American Vogue is definitely focusing on digital content with trendsetters. British Vogue is so fresh and filling in that fashion knowledge gap in the digital space. Love them both!

[@plserino]

Joni Mccalla yeah, American Vogue is in this weird stage where they’re embracing all these random influencers in an attempt to appeal to younger people, and it’s just so messy. Like no one that watches Emma Chamberlain cares about Vogue, and people that follow Vogue could care less about Emma. They’re a few years away from having some random beauty guru on the cover of the September issue.

[@stellamanurung519]

they only focused in celebrites now

[@laninfapimentel311]

The situation is not better in at the Brazilian Vogue... the magazine has become very shallow and anacronic. They are still in love with the rich people who do nothing and create nothing, and most of their comtent is about trends :p

Nice to see Vivienne is still trying to make our planet a better place to live.

[@raimonddziewulski5590]

I like her fashion since many years, her statements and her motivation to go on in life wherever you stand. She lifts you up, and her answer about the economy is great although a little simple. The economy is too complicated that is the problem. If it was easier it would works better but some people enjoy the world to suffer so they prescribe pills and operations, right? Common, it`s true, there are evil people out there who would like to see this world fall apart right now. And nothing holds them back, it will need Superman to save the world or somebody like him. I love Superman and I love Batman, and I do not love the bad guys who throw bombs etc.

[@matzohgirl]

Love the liner/makeup.

[@TheLily97232]

Does she pay her seamstresses well too ? I know that most of the time in fashion they are not even paid minimum wage

[@mrdompaul]

When she said “we can’t stand the mismanagement of the world” …I actually felt that on a deep level. I love this.

[@twinklesuperpalm]

Vivienne Westwood is a wise woman and we should listen more by her. She adresses many important issues about the planet in this video. God bless Vivienne

[@micca903]

I think it’s interesting though, you get a glimpse of how they interact with each other. I really think this was a lovely interview. This is Vogue, the focus is mainly on fashion. I don’t think you can blame them for wanting to talk about a fashion moment.

[@jadepixie2719]

RIP to the iconic punk fashion’s legend Vivienne Westwood. Gone but will be never be forgotten.

[@teresalehtonen8499]

Vivienne Westwood is one of the very few celebrities who has truly had zero work done. And that looks so modern now.

[@mimi1o8]

Vivienne is her True Self , Unique in so many ways and the way that she uses her platform is outstanding.

[@karltonsmith2389]

Watching this after learning oh VW’s passing. This was a beautiful interview. She was passionate until the end. Her activism will always be an inspiration

[@angielynlaquian9519]

I love Viviene's passion and ideas for climate change, poverty and putting her voice in her fashion as an activists!

[@chathaway99]

Would really like to hear more from Vivienne about her values and activism, and how to think of fashion in terms of climate change. Fashion is so important for identity building, but it's causing also so much damage to the planet. Great that Vivienne talks about the three R's.

Only just watched this.Naomi was really good at steering Vivienne back to fashion and their past history together,which was fascinating.I think Vivienne would have talked exclusively about her activism and while interesting I wanted this to be about fashion and their intermingled history.Naomi allowed Vivienne her platform about her beliefs but help her ,in such a polite and gracious way,back to fashion.

[@laurawilson8881]

Because Naomi knows nothing about activism and cares less, she is actually the sort of person that Vivienne was talking about: greedy, cruel, and exploitative.

Vivienne's voice. OMG, it's hypnotizing. I can listen to her all day.

[@fhxs]

Yesterday in a branding class our teacher started an exercise to create a clothing line underneath the rebel archetype, and based on google trends pertaining to women’s fashion. (70’s is what’s trending). I brought up Vivienne Westwood as inspiration, and no one in the class knew who she was. I was *shocked* And now I wish I showed them this video.

[@ayshajohn2439]

Well you can always bring this to their attention in your next class. May be do a little a research on V and write a small speech that could inform your classmates prior to class starting. I am sure your teacher would appreciate it!

[@TheBrownIsland]

Everyone is Not going to know who she is. It depends on what they're into and which generation they're from. Don't be shocked. Now's the opportunity to Educate them on who she is and possibly share this Video.

Vivienne is a queen.

[@schwaarnkreddy7805]

"Age cannot wither her nor custom stale her infinite variety".... Shakespeare's immortal poetic lines on Cleopatra are, centuries later, absolutely apt for both these Cleopatras on different ends of the age spectrum! What a timeless, modern sense of fashion and facial aesthetics & individuated personal style Vivienne exudes here, particularly her iconic dual-color lipstick and eye lines...! And Naomi.... what can a man say... Naomi here is THE Sophisticated Lady ...as she always was...as she always will be! Naomi is the personification of Empress Ella Fitzgerald's dazzling, ever-bewitching "Satin Doll" !

[@simonfernandez3621]

I had such a high expectation with this interview. The intention of the editor in chief of British Vogue of producing this kind of content is so pure, bringing Westwood to this massively consumed media to strengthen her statement about questioning what is currently happening is what the fashion community and the world in general need. However this intention was jeopardized by Noami, she was trying to make it all about herself, even interrupting Westwood in a rather rude way. She just clouded the whole point of the interview.

[@69jeremykwan]

Yes definitely agreed with you on your observation as I believe Naomi spelled fallen DIVA with no further good publicity trying to make a come back to appease her bad characters in the industry. I think Dame Vivien knows well and she thought to herself this will be my last interview with British Vogue..

[@johnayalachef]

Wonderful showcase for these two women, another great example why Vogue is more than a fashion magazine. It’s thoughtful, of the moment and forward thinking.

[@michellemcbride3771]

Bless her but also, the fashion industry is a huge component of climate change and overuse of resources. Capitalism may drive people to buy buy buy but fashion encourages that same concept time and time again, season after season. When will designers and fashion brands own up to the portion of the world they are destroying?

[@user-gl1xd5wn5v]

she's such a hypocrite I think she's loosing her mind. fashion industry is one of the biggest causes of climate change. and instead of recycling her old clothes she burns them.

Oh...i was looking for this comment. Thank you. Could't listen more that 5 min.

[@theartsyzoologist]

There are such things as sustainable fashion and other facets that are trying to decrease in whichever way possible. However that said, I am proud to be a part of this industry but that doesn't mean my love for wildlife or the planet is redundant, fashion and art are my creative outlets and i have worked hard to get to where I am, i make changes where i can to accommodate the planet as much as possible. But i think it sucks when people assume the worst and it casts everyone under the same shadow. The fashion industry is very much aware of climate change and fashion houses and businesses etc are slowly taking action but you can't expect it all to just happen within the click of a finger. Vivienne is the forefront of this, she is using her platform to promote these issues which is better than and more than we could say for others in her position of power. Though tie is of the essence, patience has to be key, baby steps and all.
