'The only reason I'm in fashion is to destroy the word 'conformity'', Vivienne Westwood declared in the late 1970s, when she was best known for creating the punk style alongside her then-partner Malcolm McLaren. This motto continued to resonate after Westwood presented her first catwalk collection, 'Pirate', in 1981, entering the fashion industry and soon becoming one of the most thought-provoking and influential fashion designers in the world while staying true to her beliefs, including her continued activism for the preservation of the environment. This definitive publication opens with a concise history of the house, followed by brief biographical profiles of Vivienne Westwood and Andreas Kronthaler (her husband and long-time collaborator), before exploring the collections themselves, organized chronologically.
