Vivenne Westwood

I like how Vivenne Westwood has a very unique style she is quirky and outstated this is what makes her such an influencial British Designer. I think she can be very influential in my project as her work is outgoing like british history, i will use the flags and safety pins in my work.

Anselm Kiefer

He is a German painter and sculptor. His works incorporate materials such as straw, ash, clay, lead, and shellac. The poems of Paul Celan have played a role in developing Kiefer's themes of German history and the horror of the Holocaust. In his entire body of work, Kiefer argues with the past and addresses taboo and controversial issues from recent history. Themes from Nazi rule are particularly reflected in his work.

Designers

I have looked into fashion designers John Galillio, Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood as they all have links with Britain and British History. Galillio is half british and studied in England. He attended St Martin's College of Art and Design, where he graduated in 1984 with a first class honours degree. He was awarded British Designer of the Year in 1987, 1994 and 1995. In 1997, he shared the award with Alexander McQueen, Galliano's successor at Givenchy. Media fashion celebrity Susannah Constantine has worked for Galliano in the past. and he has also aided the future success of other designers including the renowned shoe designer Patrick Cox.

Alexander McQueen
Alexander McQueen, CBE was a British fashion designer and couturier best known for his in-depth knowledge of bespoke British tailoring, his tendency to juxtapose female strength and sensuality with fragility in his collections, as well as the emotional power and raw energy of his provocative fashion shows.
