The Vivienne Westwood Opus represents a piece of both fashion and publishing history. Created by Kraken Opus to celebrate the work and philosophy of Britain's greatest ever fashion icon, it is an epic creation telling an epic story. It is set to break records as one of the largest fashion books ever to be published.
The 198 pages showcase a selection of 97 unique never-seen-before polaroids (taken by the world's largest Polaroid camera and each measuring 50cm x 60cm) depicting of the names and faces that have charted the course of this seminal period in British fashion. Vivienne Westwood has provided her own words for the book in the form of her recent cultural manifesto, entitled 'Active Resistance to Propaganda';, arguably the most important piece of literature the iconic designer has ever written. It is the definitive document to her work.
All personally signed by Vivienne Westwood herself, edition numbers 2,3 & 8 of each cover design, are available exclusively through 20ltd.com. The no.1 editions will be auctioned for charity.
