An insight into the enigma that is Vivienne Westwood is now in print. The Vivienne Westwood Opus was launched this month revealing a deeper understanding of her designs, her passions and her manifesto. Teaming up with Kraken Opus, the groundbreaking fashion designer aims to encourage all intellectuals to fight propaganda.
2005 saw Westwood collaborate fashion with international politics as she designed t-shirts with ‘Leonard Peltier is Innocent’ across the front to challenge the Government’s policy on detaining people without trial.
Quoting the dystopian writer Aldous Huxley, Westwood is continuing her anti-propaganda theme in the new book, which is available to the public worldwide.
Vivienne Westwood’s philosophy resonates like a Che Guevara rallying call. She said: “I make the great claim for my manifesto, that it penetrates to the root of the human predicament and offers the underlying solution. We have a choice: to become more cultivated, and therefore more human; - or by not choosing, to be the destructive and self-destroying animal, the victim of our own cleverness (To be or not to be).
Only 900 copies of the book will be published but glimpses of the manifesto can be found on her website. Each Edition is priced £1400
