The BBC has revealed plans for a touching documentary dedicated to the legendary fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, who passed away in December 2022. The special programme, titled Vivienne Westwood: Punk, Fashion, and Protest, promises an intimate look at her groundbreaking career and enduring influence.
A Fashion Revolutionary Remembered
This hour-long documentary will showcase never-before-seen archive footage and exclusive interviews with those closest to Westwood, including her husband Andreas Kronthaler. Viewers will get a rare glimpse into her creative process and the rebellious spirit that defined her work.
From Punk to Global Icon
The film traces Westwood's journey from the 1970s punk scene to becoming one of Britain's most celebrated designers. It explores how she transformed fashion with her daring designs while championing environmental activism in later years.
When to Watch
The documentary will air on BBC Two and iPlayer later this year, though an exact broadcast date hasn't been confirmed. This tribute comes as the fashion world continues to mourn the loss of one of its most original voices.
