The 81 year old died peacefully, surrounded by her family in Clapham, South London. Vivienne continued to do all the things she loved, up until the last moment. This included designing, working on her art, writing her book and helping to change the world for the better.

The designer was known for her innovation and creativity over the last 60 years. The Vivienne Foundation, a not for profit company founded by Vivienne, her sons and granddaughter in late 2022, will launch to honour, protect and continue the legacy of Vivienne's life, design and activism.
