Westwood

Directed by Lorna Tucker

Charging headlong into the fashion world with zippers, scrawled epithets, and rips and tears, the iconoclastic designer Vivienne Westwood forever changed youth culture. Now, with her Climate Revolution initiatives, she seeks to untangle "two snakes": the capitalist, corporatized economy and its threat to our global ecology. Director Lorna Tucker's appropriately idiosyncratic portrait follows one of our great impresarios — still soulful and ornery after all these years — as she manages a sprawling empire.
