The article celebrates AnOther Magazine's issues featuring significant fashion figures, particularly focusing on Vivienne Westwood's influential role as a designer and educator. It highlights her career beginning as a primary school teacher, showcasing how her teaching philosophy shapes her creative output. Westwood's commitment to environmental issues is also emphasized, with an innovative strategy involving a deck of playing cards to raise awareness about climate change. New designers influenced by her legacy are discussed, illustrating the ongoing impact of Westwood's work on contemporary fashion.
"Before she began her career in fashion, half a century ago now, Vivienne Westwood trained as a primary school teacher. It's a mindset that has informed her work from the outset - occasionally, she still describes herself as a teacher, and has always created clothes that reflect that - to communicate a theory, to educate."
"Her latest is a pack of playing cards that lays out a strategy to save the world. Across these pages, pieces by Westwood and her former pupil Andreas Kronthaler... are joined by a new group of designers whose garments echo her working methods and draw infinite inspiration from her."
