Vivienne Westwood, part of the establishment on her terms. She knew her worth as a human being transcended anything she became known for. Her self expression, freedom of mind and desire to live her life through thoughtful creative expression means she has left a legacy for us to enjoy. Before you can create something from your heart, you have to know your heart. Loving one another, the planet and yourself is fashion if you write it on a t-shirt, it is transformative if you put it into practice.

A remarkably ordinary woman in an extraordinary role. RIP Queen Elizabeth II
