Then again, Vivienne might be hanging out with her friend Pamela Anderson, or in India for Naomi Campbell‘s birthday party, or watching Black Sabbath in Hyde Park with Sharon Osbourne. hungry to learn more I planned to dive one era backwards to understand different inspirations and fashion world back then. Reading Vivienne's thoughts, in her own words, is as fascinating and provocative as you would expect from Britain's punk dame - a woman who always says exactly what she believes. Vivienne does not talk about Fashion as long as it's not connected to her second (if not first) love in her life which is climate revolution and politics. Honestly, just from reading this book, I can tell that Vivienne Westwood is a wholly genuine person.

So, I figure that I should tell you all right now that if you enjoy biographies, if you enjoy women with conviction, and if you enjoy reading about politics, this is the book for you. Dame Vivienne Westwood, DBE, RDI (born Vivienne Isabel Swire) was a British fashion designer largely responsible for bringing modern punk and new wave fashions into the mainstream. Spanning six years of Climate Revolution, fashion and activism, the book is as provocative as you would expect from Britain’s punk dame. She knows she thinks differently than the status quo, and because of that, she sometimes must explain herself. Westwood advanced from OBE to DBE in the 2006 New Year's Honours List for services to fashion,and had thrice earned the award for British Designer of the Year.And, to clarify, nothing she says is of the hateful manner, so it's the little things like what does art really mean? Since then, she has written two or three entries each month, discussing her life in fashion and her involvement with art, politics and the environment.

I will surely remember this book but found it naive sometimes to believe you can do anything to influence few thousands people in the world who rule 7 billion. Get a Lifeis a fresh, unpredictable look at the life of one of the most influential artists and campaigners of our times.

At yoga, I suddenly had the stunning revelation that Alice in Wonderland, a book written by Lewis Carroll, actually proves Einstein’s theory of relativity. I decided to donate some money to the Green party, but now they are thinking of giving it back, having discovered I have a Luxembourg company that minimises my tax liabilities. Vivienne Westwood began Get A Life, her online diary, in 2010 with an impassioned post about Native American activist Leonard Peltier. At the ceremony, Westwood was knicker-less, which was later captured by a photographer in the courtyard of Buckingham Palace. I wish she'd simply written a real diary rather than 'dictated' one for an audience, as it feels to me in this case.And then there are the personal colour photographs, fashion, celebrities, musings and reflections; the passion that is Vivienne Westwood.
