Angewandte moans the passing of Vivienne Westwood

04. January 2023


Angewandte is sad and moved by the death of Vivienne Westwood. As one of the utmost exceptional designers, artists and as a very committed activist on the most relevant issues of our time, her passing is a great loss – to the world of fashion and far beyond.

Her voice in the discourse on fashion and in the fight for human rights, environmental and animal protection as well as societal issues will be missed!

As guest professor in the Department of Fashion the so called "Modeklasse" from 1989-1991, she inspired students and colleagues with her very own passionate and individual commitment.

These pictures show her in conversation with students and behind the scenes preparing for the Diploma Show of the winter semester 1990/91 in the Ferstel wing at Oskar-Kokoschka-Platz.

You will never be forgotten!
