Vivienne Westwood

I was totally shock when i received my book . The book was never even open and the service of the seller was incredible he got my book right to me on time for my class project.

A total page-turner with seamy details-- for example, she sent her son away to boarding school at a tender age because he got on (self-obsessed jackass) Malcolm McLauren's nerves. Even if you have no interest in her as a designer, this book is one fascinating read!

This book made me a fan of this writer, he has a totally original approach to biography writing. It is achingly funny and in some bits brilliantly insightful, in others it moves you along like a very peculiar adventure story, which is just what Mrs Westwoods life was like after all. I read that her brother threatened to punch Mr Vermorel on the nose over this book which says it all since this book is a punch on the nose for all those sycophants that are always surrounding the lady. In an interview I also read he said he write it to annoy the Guardian. I got more knowledge that seemed more real about the 60s here than all the clichés that usually are served up. Seems the only thing that swung in those legendary days was Mick Jaggers jockstrap!!!
