Fashion world pays tribute to Vivienne Westwood
Tributes to Dame Vivienne Westwood have poured in following the death of the "undisputed Queen of British fashion".Westwood, 81, made her name with her controversial punk and new wave styles in the 1970s and went on to dress some of the biggest stars in fashion.
Westwood came to prominence with her androgynous designs, slogan T-shirts and irreverent attitude towards the establishment. The business was later renamed Sex and McLaren began managing a punk rock band made up of shop regulars - the Sex Pistols. They shot to fame in 1976 wearing Westwood and McLaren's designs.
Actress Kim Catrall described her on Instagram as a "true genius who never lost her Northern grit", sharing a tale of Westwood's "generosity and kindness" - creating three dresses for the Sex and the City star in three days so she could attend premieres of a film, after others' designs were unsuitable.
"Her punk style rewrote the rule book in the 1970s and was widely admired for how she stayed true to her own values throughout her life."
