Since igniting the punk movement with ex-partner and Sex Pistols’ manager Malcolm McLaren, Dame Vivienne Westwood has been redefining British fashion for over 40 years, and is responsible for creating many of the most distinctive looks of our time. The film blends archive, beautifully crafted reconstruction, and insightful interviews with Vivienne’s fascinating network of collaborators, guiding us on her journey from a childhood in postwar Derbyshire to the runways of Paris and Milan. This is an intimate and poignant homage to one of the true cultural icons of our time, as she fights to maintain her brand’s integrity, her principles and her legacy in a business driven by consumerism, profit and global expansion.

Lorna cut her teeth creating promos for bands such as Unkle, The Cult, and Queens of The Stone Age, and short films for McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, and Nike. Her work has shown at international festivals and museums including MAM Sao Paulo and Guggenheim Bilbao. 2018 sees the release of her first feature documentaries: Westwood and Amá—a delicate exposé of the forcible sterilization of Native American women in the latter half of the twentieth century.
