Vivienne Westwood, one of the world's most thought-provoking and influential designers, once declared, "The only reason I am in fashion is to destroy the word 'conformity.'" For more than five decades, she has redefined, changed and challenged the fashion world.

This book celebrates forty years of catwalk collections and captures the inimitable creations Vivienne Westwood has come up with since her first fashion show in 1981. The designs of her husband and longtime collaborator, Andreas Kronthaler, are also highlighted.

With an introduction and collection notes by Alexander Fury, and biographies written by the designers themselves, offers Vivienne Westwood On The Catwalk a rare opportunity to follow the evolution of a unique creative fashion house.

Vivienne Westwood represents not only fashion, but also a constant challenge to the establishment and established norms. This book is a tribute to the indomitable spirit and continued success of a designer who continues to fascinate and transform the fashion world.
