Vivienne Westwood & Jewellery
The first book dedicated to Vivienne Westwood's jewellery creations, published in close collaboration with the house and written by fashion - and Westwood - expert Alexander Fury.
This lavish survey of Vivienne Westwood jewellery evokes the heady blend of luxury and rebellion that is the house's signature style. Whether a skilfully rendered safety-pin brooch, a hand-strung 'broken' pearl necklace or the iconic Westwood orb in crystal, these are pieces that define the house's codes.
Following an introduction by renowned fashion journalist Alexander Fury, who acquaints readers with the recurring motifs, techniques and inspirations of the world of Vivienne Westwood jewellery, the book presents almost two hundred pieces arranged by theme. From punk masterworks, such as the 'Hardcore Paperclip Earrings' and 'Chaos Necklace', through the pastel-toned 'Flower Skull Necklace' and 'Nymph Earrings', to the recycled can 'Simone Earrings' and the pagan 'Conkers Necklace', contemporary creations mingle with reimagined classics.
A full range of jewellery is included: necklaces, pendants and chokers; earrings, brooches, pins, badges and nose rings; metal masks; tiaras and coronets; bejewelled sunglasses; cuffs and bangles. Each piece is indexed with its name, fashion season, and what is often an extraordinary range of materials.
Through evocative still life vignettes and close-ups, images of catwalk models and stunning portraits of Vivienne Westwood herself, this glittering volume welcomes readers to a vibrant world that draws on the house's rich heritage.
Vivienne Westwood Catwalk
One of the most thought-provoking and influential designers in the world - she once declared 'the only reason I'm in fashion is to destroy the word "conformity"' - Vivienne Westwood has been reinventing, changing and challenging the world of fashion for over five decades.
Celebrating 40 years of catwalk collections, this 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. Complete with an introduction and collection texts by Alexander Fury, and biographies written by the designers themselves, Vivienne Westwood Catwalk offers a rare opportunity to chart the development of a uniquely creative fashion house.
After Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent and Prada, Vivienne Westwood - publishing in Spring 2021 - is the sixth new volume in the best-selling Catwalk series, which offers an unrivalled overview of the collections of the world's top fashion houses through original catwalk photography.
Vivienne Westwood
Vivienne Westwood is one of the icons of our age. Fashion designer, activist, co-creator of punk, global brand and grandmother; a true living legend. Her career has 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 have 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.
Get a Life
Vivienne Westwood began Get A Life, her online diary, in 2010 with an impassioned post about Native American activist Leonard Peltier. Since then, she has written two or three entries each month, discussing her life in fashion and her involvement with art, politics and the environment. Reading Vivienne's thoughts, in her own words, is as fascinating and provocative as you would expect from Britain's punk dame - a woman who always says exactly what she believes. And what a life! One week, you might find Vivienne up the Amazon, highlighting tribal communities' struggles to maintain the rainforest; another might see her visiting Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian Embassy, or driving up to David Cameron's house in the Cotswolds in a full-on tank. Then again, Vivienne might be hanging out with her friend Pamela Anderson, or in India for Naomi Campbell's birthday party, or watching Black Sabbath in Hyde Park with Sharon Osbourne. The beauty of Vivienne Westwood's diary is that it is so fresh and unpredictable. In book form, generously illustrated with her own selection of images, it is irresistible
