I cannot believe I am writing this... Today, we lost one of the most rare British icons of fashion ever. Vivienne Westwood inspired my career as a designer with bravery and bollocks. She invented punk. I remember sitting with her for hours at Juergen Teller’s birthday dinner as she gently analysed the corner of the table cloth, folding it with precision like Japanese origami... I realised she was creating a tiny pattern and designing a zero-waste object, with little challenge. She was a genius. Vivienne invented historic fashion design moments that woke us all up and shook the industry to its core. She led the way forward, never apologising for exposing unjust wrongs in the world and asking uncomfortable questions. Vivienne said it like she saw it. She wanted to make fashion better. Vivienne pushed every single boundary and held her head so high. She was cheeky, irreverent and had the truest fuck-you vibe I have ever known. I have never ever met anyone else like her. I hope more become like her... More fight like her, More create like her, More celebrate like her. Thank you Dame Vivienne Westwood for all you gave us. You will live on forever. God save Westwood... Punk rock will never die. x Stella
