Publisher's Synopsis
Vivienne Westwood is a fashion book. The collection is an artful mishmash. Westwood's main inspiration is apparently the stand-up theater of Italy's commedia dell'arte as well as the also Italian, but more recent, character of Pinocchio, Carlo Collodi's lying puppet.
Dame Vivienne Isabel Westwood (born 8 April 1941) is an English fashion designer and businesswoman, largely responsible for bringing modern punk and new wave fashions into the mainstream.
