Excellent biography of an amazing influential woman, illustrated with many photographs. Covers her life from childhood, to raising children, living in poverty, meeting Malcolm McLaren, the rise of punk and the Sex Pistols, running a shop at 430 King's Road, becoming internationally recognised, and campaigning for human rights and the environment. Full of small details (such as The Elastic (Control of Use) Order of 1943, prohibited the use of elastic in all garments except in the corsets and knickers of women directly involved in the war effort; attitudes of etiquette - at grammar school being told to "Lower that ponytail three inches!"). I particularly loved the photograph of Vivienne posing as Margaret Thatcher. Fascinating and inspiring. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Vivienne Westwood is one of the icons of our age. Fashion designer, activist, co-creator of punk, global brand and grandmother; a true living legend. Her career has successfully spanned five decades and her work has influenced millions of people across the world.For the first and only time, Vivienne Westwood has written a personal memoir, collaborating with award-winning biographer Ian Kelly, to describe the events, people and ideas that have shaped her extraordinary life. Told in all its glamour and glory, and with her unique voice, unexpected perspective and passionate honesty, this is her story. For the first and only time, she is both writing and collaborating on a unique personal memoir and authorised biography: partly her own voice, partly through contributions from her vast network of friends, family and associates. Ian Kelly (award-winning biographer of, amongst others, fashion maverick Beau Brummell and the original self-publicist, Giacomo Casanova) brings the insights of a historian and friend of Vivienne to the life and works of one of the major influences of our age in this wonderful, insightful collaboration.
