<h3 style="text-align: center;">&#8220;29th December 2022.&#8221;</h3>
<p>According to a public statement from her team, Westwood passed away on Thursday &#8220;peacefully and surrounded by her family, in Clapham, South London.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>Vivienne continued to do the things she loved, up until the last moment, designing, working on her art, writing her book, and changing the world for the better. She led an amazing life. Her innovation and impact over the last 60 years has been immense and will continue into the future.</p></blockquote>
<p>Her team went on to say that Westwood &#8220;considered herself a Taoist.&#8221; Then added a quote from the 81-year-old.</p>
<blockquote><p>Tao spiritual system. 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.</p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;The world needs people like Vivienne to make a change for the better,&#8221; the statement concluded.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Westwood&#8217;s Legacy</h3>
<p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-20" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html">According to <a href="https://people.com/style/fashion-designer-vivienne-westwood-dead-at-81/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PEOPLE</a>, Vivienne Westwood was born Vivienne Isabel Swire in Glossop, Derbyshire, on April 8, 1941. She began designing clothes in 1971. And displayed her first notable collection, &#8216;Pirate,&#8217; in London in 1981.</p>
<p class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html">Westwood was named British Designer of the Year in 1990 and 1991. In 1992, she was awarded an O.B.E. from Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. The designer fearlessly donned a tailored suit, skirt, and sheer stockings.</p>
<p class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html">Westwood would continue to release her collections for the next 60 years.</p>
