THIS Is Why Vivienne Westwood Is The Most Inspiring Woman In Fashion

EXCLUSIVE: To celebrate our 25th birthday this month, we teamed up with world-famous photographer Rankin to shoot a collection of iconic, inspiring women. Vivienne Westwood was one of them. Watch our interview with her to find why...

There are many women in fashion and the showbiz world who simply blow us away wth their remarkable charity efforts and campaign fights, but none make us stop in our tracks quite like Vivienne Westwood.

She tells us: 'It's really important to support things these days. Support anything. Because everything's connected, everything's mixed up, everything's a mess. And we have to save the world.'

Watch our exclusive interview with the fashion designer behind the scenes at our icons shoot as she discusses Bradley Manning's trial, the effects of climate change, and why we ALL need to try and save the world. We guarantee it'll make you think differently.
