Patience is a virtue<\/i><\/h3>\n

Westwood\u2019s career as a fashion designer didn\u2019t begin until she was 30 in 1971. Even then, she didn\u2019t officially show her collections at fashion week until she was 40 in 1981, when her Pirate Collection took to the runway. Up until the point of becoming a designer, Westwood had been working as a school teacher. It wasn\u2019t until a chance meeting with Malcom McLaren, an art student and future manager of the Sex Pistols, that Westwood released the power art and fashion could hold within the political landscape. Soon, her designs filled the prominent SEX boutique on the Kings Road in Chelsea – and the rest is history.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is such a valuable thing to remember from Westwood\u2019s career. In the age of Instagram, where we\u2019re constantly comparing ourselves and our successes to those of others, it\u2019s very easy to forget that achievement and growth takes time. \u201cThe age in which we live,\u201d said Vivienne, \u201cthis non-stop distraction, is making it more impossible for the young generation to ever have the curiosity or discipline… because you need to be alone to find out anything.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":105919,"id":105919,"title":"","filename":"gettyimages-956720084-1-1672399982.jpeg","filesize":87068,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/gettyimages-956720084-1-1672399982.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/thank-you-vivienne-5-things-the-queen-of-punk-taught-us\/gettyimages-956720084-1-1672399982\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"Image Courtesy of Vogue Runway.","name":"gettyimages-956720084-1-1672399982","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":105915,"date":"2023-01-02 11:33:30","modified":"2023-01-02 11:34:04","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":678,"height":1024,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/gettyimages-956720084-1-1672399982.jpeg","thumbnail-width":64,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/gettyimages-956720084-1-1672399982.jpeg","medium-width":678,"medium-height":1024,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/gettyimages-956720084-1-1672399982.jpeg","medium_large-width":678,"medium_large-height":1024,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/gettyimages-956720084-1-1672399982.jpeg","large-width":678,"large-height":1024,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/gettyimages-956720084-1-1672399982.jpeg","1536x1536-width":678,"1536x1536-height":1024,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/gettyimages-956720084-1-1672399982.jpeg","2048x2048-width":678,"2048x2048-height":1024,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/gettyimages-956720084-1-1672399982.jpeg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":8,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/gettyimages-956720084-1-1672399982.jpeg","wpvr_mobile-width":678,"wpvr_mobile-height":1024}},{"ID":105920,"id":105920,"title":"","filename":"shutterstock-editorial-209171c-1672399253.jpeg","filesize":145661,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock-editorial-209171c-1672399253.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/thank-you-vivienne-5-things-the-queen-of-punk-taught-us\/shutterstock-editorial-209171c-1672399253\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"shutterstock-editorial-209171c-1672399253","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":105915,"date":"2023-01-02 11:33:32","modified":"2023-01-05 12:27:36","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":980,"height":1466,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock-editorial-209171c-1672399253.jpeg","thumbnail-width":64,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock-editorial-209171c-1672399253.jpeg","medium-width":980,"medium-height":1466,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock-editorial-209171c-1672399253.jpeg","medium_large-width":980,"medium_large-height":1466,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock-editorial-209171c-1672399253.jpeg","large-width":980,"large-height":1466,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock-editorial-209171c-1672399253.jpeg","1536x1536-width":980,"1536x1536-height":1466,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock-editorial-209171c-1672399253.jpeg","2048x2048-width":980,"2048x2048-height":1466,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock-editorial-209171c-1672399253.jpeg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":8,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock-editorial-209171c-1672399253.jpeg","wpvr_mobile-width":980,"wpvr_mobile-height":1466}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

Vivienne once said: \u201cthe only reason why I\u2019m in fashion is to destroy the word \u2018conformity\u2019\u201d. Throughout her career, Vivienne was forever challenging the status quo. From wearing no knickers when receiving her OBE from the Queen, to having Kate Moss walk down the runway with nothing but a mini skirt, a Napoleon-style hat and a Magnum ice cream.

Be yourself, don\u2019t follow the trend<\/i><\/h3>\n

Westwood never followed the trend. She believed that \u201cpopular culture is a contradiction in itself. As soon as something becomes popular, it is no longer culture.\u201d She was always attracted to and fascinated by people who are \u201creally true to themselves somehow, and who are always trying to do something that makes their life more interesting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

By 1981, 10 years into her designing career, Westwood presented her debut shock-and-awe debut collection Pirates<\/em>. Entirely anti-dynasty, this collection dominated 80s subcultures and challenged the mainstream. This set the tone for how the designer would continue to revolutionise fashion for years to come.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":105922,"id":105922,"title":"","filename":"1225990.jpeg","filesize":224113,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1225990.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/thank-you-vivienne-5-things-the-queen-of-punk-taught-us\/attachment\/1225990\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"Vivienne Westwood AW11 campaign.

If there\u2019s anything you should take away from Westwood and her career, it\u2019s this. Buy less, choose well, make it last. Over the years, the designer and activist has supported PETA, Aids Research, Oxfam as well as working to champion more sustainable materials in an attempt to put a stop to unethical supply chains.<\/span><\/p>\n

To be in a constant state of consumption, is to conform to societal habits and expectations. <\/span>\u201cWe are so conformist; nobody is thinking,\u201d she once said. \u201cWe are all sucking up stuff; we have been trained to be consumers, and we are all consuming far too much.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Fashion is about so much more than endless consumption. It\u2019s about expression, individuality, belonging, not belonging, curiosity, rebel, excitement, delight, discovery.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":105924,"id":105924,"title":"","filename":"1212145.jpeg","filesize":104569,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1212145.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/thank-you-vivienne-5-things-the-queen-of-punk-taught-us\/attachment\/1212145\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"Photography Stefania Lucchesi.

Fashion is always a political statement<\/em><\/h3>\n

Across the top of the show notes at Westwood\u2019s Red Label AW15, the designer urged her attendees to \u201cVOTE GREEN\u201d. Always using fashion as a vehicle for political activism, the manifesto embedded within the show notes explained that our society is \u201ccontrolled by the 1% of the world population who are in power. They preach consumption, and they preach war, and they\u2019re taking us into disaster. We are in incredible danger. There is no point in voting for the others.\u201d\u00a0 During the show, models stormed the runway with painted, bruise-like faces as though coming straight from battle. Not long after the show, it was reported that Westwood was donating \u00a3300,000 to the Green Party.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Westwood\u2019s activism transcended the runways, entering non-fashion social spheres and events in order to maximise impact, including street protests and advertisements for PETA. Climate Revolution launched in 2012 at the London Paralympics closing ceremony. Skipping dress rehearsals in an attempt to hide her intentions, the designer took centre stage with her giant \u201cCLIMATE REVOLUTION\u201d banner. <\/span><\/p>\n

In an interview with Dazed, Westwood said \u201cclimate revolution is the ultimate revolution; if we don\u2019t win that, there won\u2019t be many of us left.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n"}]},"yoast_head":"\nThank you, Vivienne: 5 Things the Queen of Punk Taught Us - Sleek Magazine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SLEEK takes a look at the lessons Vivienne Westwood, the red-haired maverick of British fashion, taught us throughout her career and life.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/thank-you-vivienne-5-things-the-queen-of-punk-taught-us\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Thank you, Vivienne: 5 Things the Queen of Punk Taught Us - Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"SLEEK takes a look at the lessons Vivienne Westwood, the red-haired maverick of British fashion, taught us throughout her career and life.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/thank-you-vivienne-5-things-the-queen-of-punk-taught-us\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-01-02T12:09:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-01-05T11:41:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"sleek\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
