Episode 4

Vivienne Westwood

Published on: 3rd May, 2021

Kim and Luca discuss the Grand Dame of the Good Troublemakers, Vivienne Westwood.

Trailblazing designer, shop owner, fashion icon, activist, lyricist and the originator of the Punk and New Romantic movements, Queen Viv has recently celebrated her 80th birthday so what better time to dedicate an episode to her life and work so far.

We cover -

  • Vivienne's approach to fashion as art
  • The intense partnership of Vivienne and Malcolm McLaren
  • Possibly the world's most famous (and changeable) shop, 430 King's Road
  • Punk
  • The New Romantics
  • Her extraordinary catwalk shows
  • Her life as an activist

and a whole lot more.

About the Podcast

How Not
A Space for Good Troublemakers
How Not is the brainchild of two gobby Scottish creatives, Kim Macari and Luca Manning, who like to talk about the BIG stuff. We thought you might like to listen...So here we are. Our mission is to always be Good Troublemakers, to think big and to ask - How Not?!

Each episode, we pick something BIG to talk about. Sometimes that's an issue or idea that's been keeping us awake at night (like the right to Protest, The Punk Movement or Universal Basic Income...) and sometimes it's a person who think is bold and brilliant - someone worthy of the title Good Troublemaker (like Keith Haring, Marsha P. Johnson or Dererk Jarman...)
