Publisher's Summary

Vivienne Westwood is one of the icons of our age. Fashion designer, activist, co-creator of punk, global brand and grandmother; a true legend. Her career successfully spanned five decades and her work has influenced millions of people across the world.

For the first and only time, Vivienne Westwood has written a personal memoir, collaborating with award-winning biographer Ian Kelly, to describe the events, people and ideas that shaped her extraordinary life.

Told in all its glamour and glory, and with her unique voice, unexpected perspective and passionate honesty, this is her story.

What the critics say

"Kelly, a deft biographer, has already written studies of Beau Brummell and Casanova; he is thus a perfect match for the Enlightenment figure Vivienne Westwood aspires to be. The book is billed “as told to”, but one gets the impression it was one long rant, careering off on an uproarious picaresque romp through Westwood’s wild life." (Paperback Review, The Daily Telegraph)

Incredible life

Absolutely loved this book! It’s beautifully written.. Probably the best memoir I’ve ever read/listened to, as Vivienne is one of the most fascinating people you could ever hope to read about. The book covers many decades and flows through them seamlessly, tying in all the social history of the times with Vivienne’s personal story.

Highly recommended.
