Vivienne Westwood, the designer who defined the look of punk, using rock iconography, royalty, art and religion as recurring motifs in collections that brought a rebellious edge to British style, and who later went on to a long career in high fashion, died on Thursday in the Clapham neighborhood of South London.

That time we shot and didn’t shoot…pants

It’s been six months since I lost my dad. Where does time go? We wake up every day and the day is gone before we know it. How these six months have passed so quickly is beyond me. Pictured: relics from our garage sale this weekend as we began to say goodbye to his home and close one of the most difficult chapters of my life 💚
