brb crying because Ms. Jacobs, my second grade teacher, showed up to surprise me at our monthly town hall and kept a note I wrote her over 20 years ago 😭😭
in 2022 we lost two legendary fashion designers!
the beginning of the year
—— Thierry Mugler jan 23
the ending of the year
—— Vivienne Westwood dec 29
the industry lost two legends, we lost two legends.
i can’t believe in the last couple years we’ve lost virgil abloh, manfred thierry mugler, issey miyake, andré leon talley, and now vivienne westwood so many icons gone in such a short period of time it’s unbelievably heartbreaking
vivienne westwood made me realize that fashion is political. getting to interview her was one of the greatest honors of my life. rip legend, thanks for giving them hell
Vivienne Westwood utilized pirate symbolism, British tailoring, and 17th- 18th century artwork to showcase designs that rebelled against the constraints society placed on what we can wear and who can wear it.
