SCREENINGS

Dame Vivienne Westwood is the grand old lady of punk and rock: a provocative, challenging and eco-conscious fashion queen and one of the most influential pioneers in recent fashion history. The film traces Westwood's rise to success and fame, her creative mastery, social activism and cultural historical significance.

Vivienne's candid story about the world of fashion, told in her own words, unfolds, alternating with archival footage and freshly filmed material, as well as moving interviews with her relatives, friends and collaborators.

"Westwood: Punk, Icon, Activist" is the first film about Vivienne Westwood, which depicts in an extremely engaging way the struggle of a true fashion icon of our time for the integrity and integrity of the brand she created, her principles and her fashion heritage.

Fashion designer Xenia Joost will make an introduction to the film screenings.
