Vivienne Westwood to Write Autobiography

It’s been a decade since the release of Vivienne Westwood by Claire Wilcox — which explored the dynamic illustrations behind Westwood’s creations — and now the designer has announced she will be writing her first ever memoir. Working in tandem with close friend and renowned biographer, Ian Kelly, and published by New York-based Picador, the book will highlight Westwood‘s life in candid detail. Unveiling untold stories of her previous stint as a primary school teacher to changing classic menswear and womenswear silhouette with rebellious, punk-inspired designs, the autobiography promises to provide a unique look into Westwood’s personal life and her illustrious career. Set to be released in October 2014, stay tuned for more information.
