Vivienne Westwood

Product Information

Vivienne Westwood: single most important fashion phenomenon to come out of Britain or loony old bat? On dirait que le biographe s'est retrouvé avec des tonnes d'enregistrement d'anecdotes qu'elle lui racontait au hasard et, ne sachant pas quoi en faire, il l'a joué neutre en ne faisant que retranscrire les extraits mot pour mot et en tentant de faire lui-même le fil conducteur par sa narration.

De plus, il faut déjà connaître VW pour lire ce livre, car on donne souvent des noms de personnes ou de pièces de linge sans explication en prenant pour acquis qu'on sait de qui/quoi il s'agit. I need to admit I learned many things about topics which should be very close and important for all of us. I analyse it in this way: the poor have status, the status of having more experience, and therefore a patina of prestige attached to their clothes.Whether you like fashion, punk, activism, or stories of perseverance and the strength of real people this is a fabulous book. Some fashion journalists complained that going to her shows was a bit like being given heavy-handed lessons in costume history and revolutionary politics. I think we’re all aware of controlling husbands, all in the flowering of Sid Sexism culture, incidentally, Sid Vicious blacked one of Westwood’s eyes. So, I figure that I should tell you all right now that if you enjoy biographies, if you enjoy women with conviction, and if you enjoy reading about politics, this is the book for you.

A bibliophile comforted reading many and varied books, sipping a flask of hot water kept by the bed, and shared with her Italian BF, Andreas – a better suited collaborator IMO. At last, I wanted to cry out, a celebrity who recognizes that politicians only care about themselves and who cares about the earth and who will actually do things about the things she cares about.Cet ouvrage rassemble ses créations les plus singulières depuis son premier défilé en 1981, ainsi que celles imaginées avec son mari et collaborateur de longue date, Andreas Kronthaler.

I wish she'd simply written a real diary rather than 'dictated' one for an audience, as it feels to me in this case. Worse, although theirs were dissembling and flawed, hers were dissembling, flawed and gabblingly incoherent. For Ness, the pre-Revolutionary years were the fertile ones; Westwood’s inspiration now came from such aristocratic sources as Sèvres porcelain. The book records the inimitable creations imagined by Vivienne Westwood since her first runway show in 1981, as well as those designed by her husband and long-time collaborator, Andreas Kronthaler. Natürlich will man sie manchmal schütteln, wenn Malcolm wieder einmal die Familie auf Problemen sitzen lässt und sie ihm trotzdem noch den Rücken stärkt, aber letztlich ist sie eine starke Frau, auch wenn ihre Freunde meinten sie sei zeitweise eine echte Schande für den Feminismus gewesen.

Who can say, to quote Bubble from AbFab (possibly another contender for the former) and this book will do nothing to help you make up your mind. Although all her collections have not been critical successes, An Unfashionable Life provides a detailed and highly readable guide to the Westwood evolution. Zustand: in gebrauchtem, gutem Zustand, aus Privatbesitz, geringe Lese- Lagerspuren, Altersgemaesse kleinere Maengel sind nicht immer extra aufgefuehrt. She's led a very inspiring life, and the first half was great, but the book was a little to glossy and perfect, i don't think it was a true warts and all book, as there's nothing truly critical of Vivienne, and so little about her second marriage.
