Dame Vivienne Westwood, the legendary British fashion designer, has died at the age of 81.
She passed away peacefully on Thursday surrounded by her family in Clapham, south London, her representatives said.
Andreas Kronthaler, Dame Vivienne’s husband and creative partner, said: “I will continue with Vivienne in my heart.
“We have been working until the end and she has given me plenty of things to get on with.
“Thank you darling.”
