Queen of punk Vivienne Westwood rips it up for the climate
Wear ribbons of torn cloth as a bikini. Pin a picture of your boyfriend to your sleeve. Dig out your mother’s old clothes.
Vivienne Westwood’s latest advice may sound like a DIY fashion campaign, but it’s actually her contribution towards fighting global warming.
At her fashion show in Paris, the queen of punk handed out leaflets blaring: “Act fast – slow down – stop climate change”.
Looking as energetic as ever, her hair in a frayed beehive, she told me after her show that people are meant to cut out the slogans, or even photos of their own boyfriends, and pin them to
their T-shirts, in the style of marathon runners.
