When Vivienne was a young woman, she wasn’t sure how a working class girl from England could make a living in the art world.
But after discovering her passion for design and jewellery making, she erupted onto the fashion scene with a bang. Vivienne’s designs became iconic, and she became famous for letting her clothes speak for themselves.
This book is suitable for children between 5 and 7 years of age.
Vivienne Westwood always stood up for the outsider, even at school. When she grew up, she created a fashion philosophy that went against the grain and celebrated the music of the moment: punk. Vivienne became a world-famous fashion designer by staying true to herself and speaking up for what she believed in. This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the designer’s life.
