VIVIENNE Westwood, who has died at the age of 81, was the woman who created the punk look as we know it.
As well as being one of the most influential designers in the UK, she was a fiercely outspoken political activist, reportedly donating £300,000 to the Green Party of England and Wales in 2015 before switching to Labour to back former leader Jeremy Corbyn.
But she also came out in favour of Scottish independence before the first referendum, saying she thought Scotland was “better” than England.
