About this listen
Vivienne Westwood is one of the icons of our age. Fashion designer, activist, co-creator of punk, global brand and grandmother; a true legend. Her career 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 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.

Critic reviews
"Kelly, a deft biographer, has already written studies of Beau Brummell and Casanova; he is thus a perfect match for the Enlightenment figure Vivienne Westwood aspires to be. The book is billed “as told to”, but one gets the impression it was one long rant, careering off on an uproarious picaresque romp through Westwood’s wild life." (Paperback Review, The Daily Telegraph)

Wonderful insight into a humble genius
absolutely loved this book from start to finish. There are no big I ams or show off rock n roll stories. Just a truly inspirational and honest story of VW in her own words with many others providing stories about their friendship with her, which all felt genuine. It was different in that it felt like the truth throughout. Her story should be made into a film with Pamela Anderson (as she is now) playing an older VW. The narration was perfect - the best I've heard by far.
