Episode 11: Vivienne Westwood

In episode 11, we cover one of the most recognizable names in fashion and the Queen of punk herself, Vivienne Westwood. We are back after a short hiatus following ThriftCon Denver and this episode is the perfect way to jump back in. We cover from Westwood's early days of making her own clothing and attempts at selling her own handmade jewelry into her introduction and relationship with Malcolm McClaren. That duo would reign over the 70s and 80s and created an entire movement and helped to spark the punk scene in music and fashion. Eventually breaking things off, Westwood would go onto become a household name in the fashion world in her own right as well as a committed activist taking a firm stance on causes such as climate change, civil rights and freedom of speech. Also Fireflies by Owl City might be the new song for our credits and if this episode gets removed from the airwaves now you know why.
