On December 29th 2022 Vivienne Westwood died surrounded by her family. Her contribution to fashion changed western culture and made her iconic.
Here Vivienne Westwood explains to Artist Taxi Driver what she was trying to achieve and why she was NOT a reactionary.
Vivienne continued to do the things she loved, up until the last moment, designing, working on
her art, writing her book, and changing the world for the better. She led an amazing life. Her
innovation and impact over the last 60 years has been immense and will continue into the
future.
Andreas Kronthaler, Vivienne’s husband and creative partner said “I will continue with
Vivienne in my heart. We have been working until the end and she has given me
plenty of things to get on with. Thank you darling.”
The world needs people like Vivienne to make a change for the better.
Vivienne considered herself a Taoist. She wrote, “Tao spiritual system. There was never
more need for the Tao today. Tao gives you a feeling that you belong to the
cosmos and gives purpose to your life; it gives you such a sense of identity and
strength to know you’re living the life you can live and therefore ought to be
living: make full use of your character and full use of your life on earth.”
Vivienne always stood for justice and fairness and has been working on a plan to save the
world. Shortly before she passed away, she said; “Julian Assange is a hero and has been
treated atrociously by the UK government.’
“Capitalism is a crime. It is the root cause of war, climate change and corruption.”
The Vivienne Foundation, a not-for-profit company, founded by Vivienne, her sons &
granddaughter in late 2022, will officially launch next year to honour, protect and continue the
legacy of Vivienne’s life, design and activism.
The Foundation’s goal is to raise awareness and create tangible change working with NGO’s.
Built upon four pillars: Climate Change, Stop War, Defend Human Rights and Protest
Capitalism. The Vivienne Foundation exists to create a better world and implement Vivienne’s
plans.
“STOP Climate Change. This is a war for the very existence of the human race.
And that of the planet. The most important weapon we have is public opinion.
Become freedom fighter”
