With exclusive and unprecedented access, here is the first film to encompass the remarkable story of Vivienne Westwood's life: her fashion, personality, activism and her cultural importance.
Westwood: Punk, Icon, Activist
Since igniting the punk movement with ex-partner and Sex Pistols’ manager Malcolm McLaren, Dame Vivienne Westwood has been redefining British fashion for over 40 years and is responsible for creating many of the most distinctive looks of our time. The film blends archival and beautifully crafted reconstruction, as well as insightful interviews with Vivienne’s fascinating network of collaborators. The film guides us on her journey from a childhood in post-war Derbyshire to the runways of Paris and Milan. An intimate and poignant homage to one of the true cultural icons of our time, Vivienne fights to maintain her brand’s integrity, principles, and legacy in a business driven by consumerism, profit, and global expansion.
