The dead deserve the truth; Ian and I are working together on this and I am excited that this will be my story, the story nobody ever did before."

'[Vivienne Westwood's] use of historical reference, combined with an ability to shock even the most jaded fashion pundits, ensures her place in fashion history. This autobiography reveals the woman behind the Dame.' -- The Irish Times
