Product Information

Find your next must-read with the Serpent’s Tail newsletter and discover gripping crime and mystery from Viper Books. What we have here then is a story of the last six years of Climate Revolution and the journey that got us there. In 1992, Westwood was awarded an OBE, which she collected from Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. 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. 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.

I decided to donate some money to the Green party, but now they are thinking of giving it back, having discovered I have a Luxembourg company that minimises my tax liabilities. Not only was Vivienne Westwood a punk icon and fashion inventor, she was also an activist for climate change and a major supporter and friend of Julian Assange. I liked this but I didn't rate it higher only because I didn't always agree with some of her ideas and sweeping generalisations. I totally admire her dedication and energy and can only hope to be that active when I reach her age!Fashion designer, political activist, national icon: Vivienne Westwood sets down her unique vision of the world in her blog, Get A Life.

I’ve been a supporter of Leonard, a Native American who has been wrongly imprisoned for 35 years, for a long time. This book is in the form of a journal that Vivienne kept from 2010 through 2016, containing drawings, art she admired and photographs. I need to admit I learned many things about topics which should be very close and important for all of us.She lives a busy, busy life - and as she records her daily routine we begin to get to know this woman - in an intimate productive way. You might find Vivienne 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. hungry to learn more I planned to dive one era backwards to understand different inspirations and fashion world back then. 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.
