Stunning gowns. Beautiful tailoring on some pieces with very unique lines.
Then it gets ugly. Literally.
She starts out by saying she wants to improve the world. Then come the swastikas, homages to death, antichrist stuff, and hats uglier than I made in kindergarten with play-doh and popsicle sticks.
Her stated objective is to make sure anyone can face the world looking beautiful in her clothes. Eye roll.
Then she becomes an environmental activist. Great! She wishes to make everything from sustainable materials. Then she shows up at her NYC Boutique wrapped in a plastic sequins wrap.
Gotta give her credit, though. She's got the wealthiest of the world at her feet, and they've bought it all hook, line and sinker.

About a woman so authentic and revealing in addition to understanding the psychic and material world where she truly plays. How often do we see women grow creatively in the world, rarely. Brava! Her son's participate, her husband is younger, her businesses are on point and She Cares about what is important. Truly Inspiring.

The documentary gives an even handed depiction of Westwood in all of her brilliance, irascibility, naïveté, doughtiness, and seediness. She says of Malcolm McLaren after he slithered back decades later to scuttle her new successes, “I’d forgotten Malcolm existed by then.” Says everything about the Dame really. She never stops moving.

She was amazingly talented in the 70s and 80s but now she is just a fussy granny with a spoiled child of a partner.

Vivienne Westwood makes us think differently. And to never let go of who we are and the individual talents we each have.

The insight nuggets of her M. McLaren / Punk beginnings are worth it all. Westwood designs certainly have an "anti-establishment" genesis and it has carried on to this day, even if she dismisses the era a bit.

A fun, yet honest portrait of an icon. I found the narrative to be reflective and insightful, not gossipy.

It was awesome until she started getting into glaciers and green life. Interesting though.
