Get a Life: The Diaries of Vivienne Westwood

Product Information

Spanning six years of Climate Revolution, fashion and activism, the book is as provocative as you would expect from Britain’s punk dame. Very motivating read, to Vivennes's way of thinking and the time she devotes for environmental causes.

This book is in the form of a journal that Vivienne kept from 2010 through 2016, containing drawings, art she admired and photographs. 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. I totally admire her dedication and energy and can only hope to be that active when I reach her age!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.

Get a Lifeis a fresh, unpredictable look at the life of one of the most influential artists and campaigners of our times. I wish she'd simply written a real diary rather than 'dictated' one for an audience, as it feels to me in this case. 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. You might find Vivienne highlighting tribal communities’ struggles to maintain the rainforest; another might see her visiting Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian Embassy, or driving up to David Cameron‘s house in the Cotswolds in a full-on tank.By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions.
