On Friday April 21st, the Vivienne Westwood team attended Extinction Rebellion’s ‘The Big One’ protest in Parliament Square. Caroline Lucas from the Green Party gave a powerful speech mentioning ‘Rosebank’, a huge undeveloped oil and gas field in the North Sea – #STOPCAMBO
…companies. Yesterday we set them out on the floor and set about trying to choose elements in view of how we would apply them. We ended up with a great idea- a leather belt shaped to fit low on the hip so that fringes of different lengths and materials could be knotted on it at hip level. A practical solution because the belt can be easily strapped on and the ‘grass’ at hip level means you don’t look fat. We had to work this out together and we we… Continue reading
…d me I was too old to be a ballet dancer – I was supposed to begin at age 3. I was very shocked to think I was already too old. In fact the best age to start is about 10. The point I’m making is that you have to follow your deepest interests and they will be useful for whatever you choose to do later. Please will you ask your Mummy to follow my website climaterevolution.co.uk and talk to you about it because as you know I’m the only person who can… Continue reading
…Y Stop climate change cc Don’t buy a car is a call to young people. Try to choose a life that doesn’t need a car. Young mother riding a bike with 2 kids in a box on front send them to the local school (builds community & gives you more quality time instead of crawling through traffic).

…can afford it and anyway where do you wear it? The economy in is buy less, choose well, make it last. And couture would have to be wearable otherwise nobody would buy it, and we could hire couture for special occasions. Couture is the only sustainable economy: highly skilled, labour intensive and sold at true cost. I said this to Andreas, these digital presentations are so extreme, who’s going to buy them now in Covid times? Andreas said, it’s rea… Continue reading
…. One of the most important things I have probably ever said is: Buy less, choose well, make it last. It’s all about quality, not quantity. Popular clothes are now reduced to a quantity of machine-made sportswear and cheap rags constructed in places like Indonesian and Chinese sweatshops. We need to go back to producing high-quality garments instead. Our choices as consumers can have an enormous effect on the fashion industry. On history’s lessons… Continue reading
…es. To boost this relevance, Google incentivise their vendors to carefully choose hidden keywords and phrases that best encapsulate what they’re selling. These keywords are what Google software algorithms are constantly appraising and pricing. Vendors will try and game the system but Google always stay ahead constantly changing the parameters of their keyword algorithms.

…rom this period which I have read: Honoré de Balzac ~ Père Goriot (I would choose another one of Balzac’s books because I lost interest in the hero. It seems like King Lear, 3 horrible daughters and a too indulgent Father.)
