, a new nonprofit dubbed The Vivienne Foundation will launch to "honour, protect and continue the legacy of Vivienne's life, design activism" next year. It will focus specifically on four pillars: "Climate Change, Stop War, Defend Human Rights and Protest Capitalism." Westwood herself was involved in the organization's development, alongside her sons and grandaughter.
The brand also shared that Westwood considered herself a Taoist, including this quote from her: "There was never more need for the Tao today. Tao gives you a feeling that you belong to the cosmos and gives purpose to your life; it gives you such a sense of identity and strength to know you’re living the life you can live and therefore ought to be living: make full use of your character and full use of your life on earth.
If one thing's for certain, it's that Westwood exceeded her mission of making full use of her time on earth. As her work continues to reach new audiences, she'll continue to be remembered for her incredible contributions to the world through activism and fashion.
