Vivienne Westwood's Odd Future
More than 35 years, ago, Vivienne Westwood outfitted an obscure band of self -described anarchists. But the Sex Pistols got big, really big, after they famously pissed off a nation by sneering “God Save The Queen/She ain’t no human being." Just by association, Vivienne Westwood probably could not be counted as a fan of the British monarchy.
Decades later, it was Westwood who ended up designing a limited edition cover to Her Majesty, a sumptuous Taschen coffee table book on Queen Elizabeth II. Cover aside, the influential designer continues to have a taste for the radical. She recently made statements against consumerism and support for Chelsea Manning, the American soldier who was convicted of biggest leaks of classified documents in U.S. history.
The Vivienne Westwood boutique in West Hollywood threw a shindig Oct. 22 celebrating the Taschen book. Like Westwood, a lot of the guests had radical fashion ideas. Take a look.
