About This Project

Fashion has been a major form of inclusivity amongst many different genres and aesthetics of people. Feeling comfortable in your own skin is one of the most freeing feelings we can experience as human beings. Vivienne Westwood continues to have a major impact on my fashion journey and self-expression. Luckily, she has always strived for fashion, ranging from sizes that fit the "ideal" to sizes that expand past it. She designed clothes for women, men, and androgynous (1) alike. Noted for her high-end designs and prize tags, she has reshaped the concept of "high-end fashion". Ranging from punk to work casual, aberrancy (2), accessories, jewelry, and much more, Vivienne Westwood has opened doors within a designer name with little to no fear. 

Throughout the tumultuous (3) journey to finding her calling, she received multiple appraisals and awards on behalf of her work. To note some of those achievements,
