Provocation is like a second skin to Vivienne Westwood, who has always resisted the egocentric and vain fashion circles, preferring to rebel against the conformist society. The British fashion "Grande Dame" started as Queen of King’s Road in 1971, initiating the punk style: zips and radical slogans. Classified as one of the most influential designers of the 80’s, the multi award-winner shocked Parisian’s at the runaway of Paris ’82. They were horrified by the swinging style of London punk. Her wildly eccentric style can awaken the rebellious side in all of us.
