Critic reviews

"Kelly, a deft biographer, has already written studies of Beau Brummell and Casanova; he is thus a perfect match for the Enlightenment figure Vivienne Westwood aspires to be. The book is billed “as told to”, but one gets the impression it was one long rant, careering off on an uproarious picaresque romp through Westwood’s wild life." (Paperback Review, The Daily Telegraph)

"Great woman, good narration, needs better editing "

Great to listen to her amazing life, but a lot is repeated for no reason that it can get annoying and take away from a generally great petson

Mother of Punk

If fashion and fashion histories appeal to you and if the history of Punk appeals to you, you'll get a kick out of this. I have learned so much I didn't know. The reading is very well done although at times confusing when you can't tell if she's quoting Vivienne or someone else.

Inspiring Story of a Strong woman

Fabulous true life story of the work it takes to fulfill one's promise and following one's passion. Save the Rain Forrest!

The story of bar fights to couture. Great book.

I never knew a lot of the fashion world until I started studying fashion in college. Vivienne Westwood is one of my icons in the industry.

This book is amazing

This book is wonderful I did not know if I was going to like it in the beginning. It was a great audiobook and I learned so much about Vivian
