I make the great claim for my manifesto, that it penetrates to the root of the human predicament and offers the underlying solution. We have a choice: to become more cultivated, and therefore more human - or by not choosing, to be the destructive and self-destroying animal, the victim of our own cleverness (To be or not to be).
In the reading she made yesterday (Friday) of her manifest against propaganda and the excessive consume, fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, 67, spent most of the time chatting with friends and guests and posing for pictures.
Iīm not interested in talking to the media, that only wants to know about what is shallow, said Vivienne, who had previously selected some people to help her with the lines of the various characters in the manifest, including fashion designer Dudu Bertholini, singer Supla and actor Theodoro Cochrane.
In Active Resistance to Propapanda, the punk queen speaks of the traditional people, resilient to changes, of the modern, who only want to consume, and also of the thinkers, who are the type of people who can make life more meaningful, but unfortunately arenīt interested in fashion. Itīd be great if they did.
On that same page, singer and minister of culture Gilberto Gil should be present at SPFW today, Saturday, to read a manifest of his own, about fashion and culture. It is possible that Vivinne will be a part of the audience.
