British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood died Thursday, December 29, at the age of 81, announced the brand that she was based on social networks. She died “peacefully”, surrounded by her family, in southern London.
The stylist’s career began in the 1970s at the heart of the punk movement, when her radical approach to “street style” upset the world. It was the beginning of a long career marked by several triumphant parades in London, Paris, Milan and New York.
As her stature grew up, she seemed to transcend fashion with creations exposed in museums around the world. The young woman who had despised the British establishment has finally become one of her figureheads.
Furthermore, Vivienne Westwood also helped to stir the world of music. The sex pistols, craftsman of the British punk movement, trained in his clothing shop in London – “sex” – under the direction of their manager Malcolm McLaren, the husband of Vivienne Westwood.
