Vivienne Westwood, an influential fashion maverick who played a key role in the punk movement, died Thursday at 81.
The name Westwood became synonymous with style and attitude even as she shifted focus from year to year. Her range was vast and her work was never predictable. "They gave the punk movement a look, a style, and it was so radical it broke from anything in the past," he said."The ripped shirts, the safety pins, the provocative slogans. She introduced postmodernism. It was so influential from the mid-70s. The punk movement has never dissipated — it's become part of our fashion vocabulary. It's mainstream now."
