In 1992, Westwood was awarded an OBE, which she collected from Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace.

Fashion designer, political activist, national icon: Vivienne Westwood sets down her unique vision of the world in her blog, Get A Life. Get a Lifeis a fresh, unpredictable look at the life of one of the most influential artists and campaigners of our times.Find your next must-read with the Serpent’s Tail newsletter and discover gripping crime and mystery from Viper Books. 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. Dame Vivienne Westwood is one of the icons of our age: fashion designer, activist, co-creator of punk, global brand and grandmother.

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.To be so full of energy and life at her age - and to rally against what you believe is detrimental to the future - environmental, creative and judicious. What we have here then is a story of the last six years of Climate Revolution and the journey that got us there. Sometimes u may feel that her diaries are very hectic hence even more I'm proud of myself to get to the end of it and not dropping earlier.

And, to clarify, nothing she says is of the hateful manner, so it's the little things like what does art really mean? This online magazine fuses the best high-end, progressive and luxury brands as well as independent designers. 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. 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.By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. I’ve been a supporter of Leonard, a Native American who has been wrongly imprisoned for 35 years, for a long time. Her thinking on culture and the importance of engaging with the world to develop culture (not consumption) was very clear and inspiring. And then there are the personal colour photographs, fashion, celebrities, musings and reflections; the passion that is Vivienne Westwood. Beginning with a great sweep through those early decades of activism and fashion (activism in fashion) – rebelling through clothes at 430, Kings Road; plundering history for the Pirates collection; quietly shaping a manifesto that would later evolve into the Climate Revolution project – the idea is to access Vivienne’s point of view.

I enjoyed the diary, I have learnt a lot and was definitely inspired to open up to the world and culture more. Her career has successfully spanned five decades and her work has influenced millions across the world. This book is in the form of a journal that Vivienne kept from 2010 through 2016, containing drawings, art she admired and photographs.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.
