Scene a hotel roomIn New York, one spring morningIn 2013.I’m staring at a photograph of a young soldier with the word TRUTH emblazoned underneath her tentative smileIn white font and a red box like a Barbara Kruger, pinned to Vivienne Westwood’s “Climate Revolution” DIY top. “It’sIncredible no one knows who thisIs. You don’t know who sheIs?” Vivienne asks meIn her soft Derbyshire lilt. She audibly gasps asI shake my head. “It’s amazing.Amazing.I’m here to try and do something about her.” The photograph,I quickly learn,Is of whistleblower Chelsea Manning.By Vivienne’s side now and for more than 30 years of their colorful shared lives stands her husband, Andreas Kronthaler, the dashing, tender artistic director of their fashion label. We discuss the Amazonian wild rubber dress they’ve designed for me to wear to the Met Gala tonight and Chico Mendes, the wild rubber tapping activist who lost his life fighting to protect the rainforest. Vivienne listensIntently, as always, then shares her observations, gesticulating palms out for emphasis.

Later, Andreas calls from the doorway, “I’m going downstairs, Vivienne.” “You have to wait for me a minute,” she bats back, with a cheeky smile. She’s mid spiel, relaying with unstoppable passion Manning’s plight, her sea colored eyes afire under the red waves she’s drawn over them. Her gaze

pierces with a desperate appeal to truth. She’s been calling truths out to us all for decades. WhichIs why, thisApril 2013 day, Vivienne has traveled to New York, accepting Vogue’sInvitation to attend the punk themed Met Gala despite the paradoxesImplied. She andAndreas are here to bring messages to the widest possible audience. “We’re out for the cause!”Andreas urges me, playfully enacting howI'might talk to the cameras about the rainforest.

Vivienne began her career as a primary school teacher and remained always curious, studying TaoismIn later years.In their final phone conversation, Gene reflects, “the mood changed completely when she started to talk about TaoismIt’s as though the world began to make some kind of sense to her. She saw nature as revealing the truth.”At her memorial,Andreas reiterated her commitment to Taoism and said that “towards the end she thought a lot about love. That a life without loveIsn’t worthIt.” Vivienne’s granddaughter, Cora, called on everyone to turnInspirationInto action to continue the “to do lists” that Vivienne left us all. “Into the cosmosI call your name” said Cora, closing the service. “You always saidI was your angel. But you were mine.”
