Vivienne Westwood is one of Britain's most successful fashion designers. Her amazing achievements are especially remarkable considering her unusual background and controversial past. Vivienne made her name designing clothing for the anarchist Punk movement, and especially the notorious Sex Pistols. Now, however, her haute couture fashion labels are sold by exclusive designer boutiques from New York to London and Paris. "Creative Lives: Vivienne Westwood" looks at how this amazing transformation came to take place. This title looks at her life, including her background and aspects of her daily life, and examines the ways in which her work reflected and shaped social and cultural changes. The text features panels including quotations and background information, pictures from her life and of her work and a timeline of key events and significant works.
