Back in 2004, Dame Vivienne Westwood became the seventh cultural figure to discuss her life and work with SHOWstudio and the public at large via our live ‘ In Camera ‘interview series . In trademark Westwood fashion, the discussion ranged wide from her design inspirations and techniques to her representation in the media and notions of iconoclasm. In this interview, Vivienne spoke at length of her self-taught training in response to a question asking if it had 'helped or hindered' the designer's career. When prompted, she expressed “We live in an age where young people are flattered into believing that they can do anything that they want. It's not true and you have to have an aptitude for something. A talent for it.” Rest In Peace Dame Vivienne Westwood (1941-2022). Watch the full interview on our YouTube channel and SHOWstudio.com
