Dame Vivienne Westwood has died. She was 81

It is sad to learn another "Queen" has passed away in 2022.  

Dame Vivienne Westwood, you were the "Queen of Punk and British Fashion".  May you Rest In Peace.

After the death of the legendary designer was announced on Thursday, December 30th, Westwood's husband and creative partner Andreas Kronthaler said: "I will continue with Vivienne in my heart.

"We have been working until the end and she has given me plenty of things to get on with."

Now who will carry on the Westwood fashion House?  It has been reported that seasoned Welsh designer and close friend of Westwood Jeff Banks became a director of her company just before Christmas, when it was apparent Westwood was very ill. 

In 2022, we said goodbye to a number of luminaries of the fashion world, including Andre Leon Talley, the American fashion journalist, stylist, creative director and editor-at-large of Vogue magazine, Paris designer Thierry Mugler, and Japanese designer Issey Miyake.  And now Vivienne Westwood.
