Plus: The meaning behind the Sunaks' new look Downing Street and why we'll be ditching crowded airports in 2023
 |  |  | By Tamara Abraham,
FASHION EDITOR | | | Last night the fashion world lost one of its greats. Dame Vivienne Westwood, who died at the age of 81, was as known for her fearless activism as she was for her powerful, sophisticated designs which celebrated women’s bodies. Dubbed the ‘godmother of punk’, she was one of the first designers to use fashion as a platform for political and environmental change.
She was, my colleague Stephen Doig writes, a disruptor long before the term entered our vernacular. You can read his tribute here.
If you are using this Twixmas period to clear out your unworn clothes, heed the advice of Caroline Leaper, who wrote about what happened when her wardrobe detox went too far.
