London punk fashion designer Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne is a British fashion designer born in 1941. Her styles are punk and new wave fashion and very high priced. People were tired of the hippie, torn look and needed a new trend. When she was a young school girl her family did'nt give her much spending money so instead of clothes she would buy a yard of fabric and a pair of shoes. She made all her school clothes. There was'nt anything that she could'nt make herself. She used razor blades, safety pins, spikes, and chains along with outrageous hair and makeup to make her fashion statement. She was'nt really interested in designing until she met Malcom Mclarn of the Sex Pistols. She helped him design his clothes and when they decided to marry she made the wedding dress she wore. Together they made a name "Red Label" and began opening boutiques. Vivienne has flaming red long hair and when asked to appear in the movie "Sex in the City" she said no but gave Carrie Bradshaw a wedding gown to marry Big in. Vivienne is interested in bigger roles in television. She is currently struggling to start her own show called "Get a Life". She loves frilly dresses but says that those are only for girls with curls. She says that plain clothing will not make you more stunning but more of a clone and why would you want to be that. Her clothes are for people who want to be freakishly beautiful goddess's. She is currently doing everything she can to find out how to save the enviorment. People are only a generation away from being endangered species. She said to stop buying clothes because this is enviormentally harmful and thinks that the art and cinema of now are boring, not real, and lying. She says that we need to be more real and aware.
