Always the visionary and an undeniable fashion, art, culture and political revolutionary, Dame Vivienne Westwood, godmother of Punk Fashion, titled her Spring 2023 collection BORN TO REWILD. The fashion show, during London Fashion Week, dropped as a digital lookbook.

Westwood put out a statement about her feelings about Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II: “The Queen performs a national service. Every morning she has her breakfast, most days her outfit is already decided for her royal appointment; shake hands, gives speeches. Every institution in our country wants her acknowledgement and attribution. Her life is prescribed. The Royal Family, as an institution, is social cement. The Queen holds the country together. She’s a figurehead of international diplomacy. I think it’s so important that our Royal Family is hereditary, the family members learn diplomacy by osmosis and develop a sense of duty to our country and to the world. We all owe her our gratitude.”
