Vivienne Westwood put in over 60 years of hard work, innovation, and dedication into the ever changing fashion world. Vivienne always used her fashion shows and collections to make a positive activism campaign. Vivienne spent many years speaking about climate change and over-consumption and their effects.
Vivienne Westwood's creations were known for parodying English looks, and held an innovative take on traditional tailoring and utilizing tartan and Harris Tweed materials. Even during radical eras of fashion, Westwood always maintained/referenced historical styles, such as during the punk fashion era.
II. Vivienne's Social Impact
Vivienne Westwood considered herself a Taoist, where she believed that she was making full use of her character and full use of her life on Earth. Taoism gave Vivienne the feeling that she belonged to the cosmos and had a given purpose in life.
Westwood stood for justice and fairness, and spoke out against capitalism. The Vivienne Foundation is a non-profit company founded by Vivienne, her sons and granddaughters in late 2022, will launch sometime in 2023 to honor her legacy and activism.
The foundations goal is to raise awareness and create change working with NGOs. This foundation is built upon four pillars: climate change, defend human rights, protest capitalism, and stop war.
As a Cannes jury member this year, Indian actor Deepika Padukone’s schedule was jam-packed with screenings, panel discussions, and parties. Jury duty (the enjoyable kind) aside, Padukone is also a bonafide red carpet star, so you could say she had extra pressure to deliver glamorous looks this week. She certainly didn’t disappoint. With the assistance of her go-to stylist, Shaleena Nathani, Padukone experimented with a variety of different silhouettes, and played with extreme proportions. Nobody seemed to have more fun on the red carpet than Padukone. Have a look at the outfits as she dazzles in sheer grace at the events.
Ok fuck it I’m fashion blogging on here from now on 🫶🏻 idc if no one reads it ✨💕
ITS SEDGWICK SEAZON LADIES!!
Warhols muse, 60s ICON, and an OG Chelsea Hotel girl. Miss Edie Sedgwick!! My absolute favourite from the moment I laid eyes on her, I just wanted to BE her, she was EVERYTHING (I still do).
In 2011, at age 14/15, I’d watch Andy Warhol movies on YouTube over and over and my sister and I would binge factory girl over and over then we’d reblog the both of them on tumblr over and over. My sis would practice Edies make up on me, black eyeshadow, liner and mascara. Then she’d dress me up in stockings, a vintage hat, a nirvana band shirt and jacket. We’d roam around town at dusk and she’d shoot photos of me, on Rosewood Avenue and in the laundry mat on Hastings. One year later and I’ve cut off all my hair and dying it platinum blonde, collecting giant earrings and coats, so many coats!! My style was ever changing and evolving as a teen and had many influences but at the heart of it all she was and has always been there, as an absolute MUSE.
Anywayyyy!!! It getting COLD in Aus as winter is nearing and I’m just here to say it’s fuc***g Edie Season🙏🏻💕
Get out your coats, FUR coats!! Real or faux !! My mother (crazy collector and amazing vintage wardrobe) collected fur coats for as long as I can remember so I am sooo lucky and grateful to have inherited as many as i like. TRENCH coats too, every gal and guy needs a trenchy!! STOCKINGS!! The unintentional iconic look dubbed by Edie. STOCKINGS and COAT!! 2 most essential winter items EVER. You really don’t need anything else. You don’t need anything over them but you could throw on a LEOTARD, a MINI SKIRT or mini DRESS, babydoll cuts, high neck tops, stripes. Now HATS, Edie loved hats!!! I love collecting vintage hats, felt berets, fur hats, mohair hats, leopard hats, HATS HATS HATS. Accessorise with BIG sunglasses round/square, necklaces, big bracelets, BIG BELTS, big earrings, scarves both head and neck. These are my fave winter staples for sure and I owe it to HER our beautiful Edie ❤️
Ok I’d also like to share some personal favourite winter items with influences from idk EVERYWHERE. UGG boots (no this is not because of the trend circling, fuck your trend cycles, they literally make me sick. ) No UGGS have always been a staple. SCARVES always. Silk wrapped tightly around the neck or wrapped around the head, knitted for warmth etc just make it CHIC. I’m for sure a boot gal at heart and am 90% of the time wearing boots but only because it suits my lifestyle the most so it’s mainly purely out of convenience and lazinesss, BUT, BALLET FLATS and HEELS are a big yes. I’m obsessed with flats and heels with bows on the toes at the moment. And of course LONG SOCKS, to the knee, above the knee, thigh highs, another absolute staple for meeee.
Now for real I want to see some beautiful chic, vintage, thoughtful outfits this winter, curated from your deepest desires, inspired by YOUR muses, like seriously dig down and find YOUR style. So tired of cheap trends and minimalism. SMH 🔪 I have so many style influences and they get all mashed up at times and I’ll share more to come but for now, a tribute to the beauty her self EDIE SEDGWICK ❤️
Signing off I’ll leave this little poetic ramble.
Cigarettes, coffee in warm mugs, stains on the carpet. Dirty mirror, penciled walls, lipstick kissed toilet paper scrunched up in balls. Fur coats, panty hose and ballet slippers with cringy bows. Frost on the windows, broke heaters, broke credit cards and broke down shanty lofts. Black dirty, sleepy eyes, our Factory girl, my favourite mess, my muse. I’ll channel you, wish I was a Chelsea girl, in NY, smoking cigarettes in the morning fog, sitting on the stoop.
