Ian Kelly Knihy

Živoucí legenda, královna módy a punku. První autorizovaný životopis módní ikony – všechno naplno, bez příkras, bez cenzury. Až na dřeň. „Tohle je můj příběh, jak ho ještě nikdo nikdy nevyprávěl!" - Dáma Britského impéria Vivienne Westwoodová Holka z chudé dělnické rodiny z maloměsta, zdánlivě předurčená k nudné práci učitelky. V ní však tikala časovaná bomba, která s parádním rachotem vybuchla. Spolu s partnerem Malcolmem McLarenem otevírá v Londýně butik, který se stává kolébkou nového fenoménu – PUNKU. Dveře se otevírají motorkářům, lehkým děvám a vyznavačům sadomasochismu. Vivienne přichází s šílenými nápady, roztrhává a sešívá oblečení, spojuje ho řetězy a legendárními spínacími špendlíky. Na trika píše provokativní slogany, šije modely z pytlů a latexu. Na přehlídkových molech duní rebelská muzika Sex Pistols a New York Dolls, v Anglii se rodí kulturní revoluce. Divoška, rebelka, přítelkyně topmodelek Naomi Campbellové a Sarah Jessiky Parkerové. První punkerka, dáma vyznamenaná řádem Britské říše, ekologická aktivistka a matka dvou synů. Vivienne Westwoodová, s nepřehlédnutelným sex appealem i ve svých sedmdesáti, je módní ikona, jejíž nápady inspirují slavné návrháře jako Karl Lagerfeld či Jean Paul Gaultier.
