  • Branding the Iconic Ideals of Vivienne Westwood, Barack Obama, and Pope Francis
    PUNK, OBAMACARE, AND A JESUIT: BRANDING THE ICONIC IDEALS OF VIVIENNE WESTWOOD, BARACK OBAMA, AND POPE FRANCIS AIDAN MOIR A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN COMMUNICATION & CULTURE YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO April 2021 © Aidan Moir, 2021 Abstract Practices of branding, promotion, and persona have become dominant influences structuring identity formation in popular culture. Creating an iconic brand identity is now an essential practice required for politicians, celebrities, global leaders, and other public figures to establish their image within a competitive media landscape shaped by consumer society. This dissertation analyzes the construction and circulation of Vivienne Westwood, Barack Obama, and Pope Francis as iconic brand identities in contemporary media and consumer culture. The content analysis and close textual analysis of select media coverage and other relevant material on key moments, events, and cultural texts associated with each figure deconstructs the media representation of Westwood, Obama, and Pope Francis. The brand identities of Westwood, Pope Francis, and Obama ultimately exhibit a unique form of iconic symbolic power, and exploring the complex dynamics shaping their public image demonstrates how they have achieved and maintained positions of authority. Although Westwood, Obama, and Pope Francis initially were each positioned as outsiders to the institutions of fashion, politics, and religion that they now represent, the media played a key role in mainstreaming their image for public consumption. Their iconic brand identities symbolize the influence of consumption in shaping how issues of public good circulate within public discourse, particularly in regard to the economy, health care, social inequality, and the environment.

    VIVIENNE WESTWOOD Punk & glamour A PRIVATE COLLECTION october 3, 2020 – may 9, 2021 “ The fight is no longer between the classes or between rich and poor but between the idiots and the eco-conscious.” “ The sexiest people are thinkers.” “ Buy less, choose well & do it yourself!” “When in doubt, overdress.” “ It is not possible for a man to be elegant without a touch of femininity.” “ Wear a towel instead of a coat, it’s very chic. Or your husband’s boxer shorts with a belt, or something from your grandmother. It’s all about do-it-yourself at the moment.” – Vivienne Westwood – 2 – INTRODUCTION Dame Vivienne Isabel Westwood (b. 8 April 1941) is responsible for bringing modern punk and new romantic fashions into the mainstream. Along with individual tailoring, knitting techniques and as a supporter of political causes – Vivienne Westwood is the original punk rocker! This show illustrates her five decades in fashion – from her origins in the Do-It-Yourself of punk and her evolution into the glamour of haute couture. Westwood’s illustrious fashion career first began with Malcolm McLaren, future manager of punk band Sex Pistols, in the 1970s. Together they created clothing, which they sold from premises at 430 Kings Road, London. Their aesthetic shocked a conservative 1970s England featuring bondage suits made from military tartan, tops adorned with pins and bearing slogans like “Destroy” superimposed over a nazi swastika, and t-shirts featuring provocative images such as a pair of cowboys naked from the waist down. The shop on King’s Road went through a number of name changes – “SEX”, “Seditionaries”, “World’s End” – each reinvention opening up yet another imagined world.

  • VIVIENNE WESTWOOD Fashion Designer
    VIVIENNE WESTWOOD Fashion Designer Born – 1941 – Still alive Nationality – British Style– Various. Background information. Vivienne Westwood was born in Derbyshire, England. Her mother was a weaver and her father was a shoemaker. Later on they ran a Post Office and moved to London. Vivienne Westwood briefly attended Harrow Art College where she studied fashion and silver-smithing but left after one term as she mistakenly thought, ‘A working class girl like me couldn’t possibly make a living in the art world.’ She then trained as a primary school teacher. She always enjoyed fashion and dressing up in a dramatic way. At school she customised her uniform and made her own clothes. Even though she lacked conventional training, for the last 25 years Vivienne Westwood has been a key figure in the world of fashion design. Some people view her as eccentric; others call her a revolutionary and a genius. She is one of the world’s most respected designers, her clothes are always interesting to look at and at the cutting edge of fashion. Ideas / Influences. In the 1970’s Britain experienced the cultural revolution that was punk. Punk ideas encouraged individualism and personal freedom. It was anti-establishment, anarchic and encouraged people to oppose convention and trends. Westwood paired up with Malcolm McLaren and launched a series of shops selling clothes they designed themselves. Their designs were outrageous, deviant and shocking. Clothes were slashed, torn, and distressed. Underwear was worn as outerwear. Photos of respected figures such as the Queen were trashed and ridiculed, the resulting image was printed onto T-Shirts.
