永遠的龐克時尚教母 Vivienne Westwood 在今日於倫敦離世，享壽81歲。 薇薇安・魏斯伍德（Vivienne Westwood）引領英倫時尚潮流40餘年。大膽不羈的個人魅力與品牌名聲至今橫掃世界。回溯她在英國戰後的成長歲月，到70年代幫性手槍樂團設計服裝受到矚目，再逐步將龐克美學帶進主流文化，創建品牌在時尚界的地位。大力推動環保與社會議題的她，在消費主義的時尚帝國更是先驅者。 紀錄片《WESTWOOD：龐克時尚教母》蒐羅薇薇安魏斯伍德的過往片段，遍訪她的合作對象，從戰後她在德比郡的成長過程開始，直至70年代再到前進巴黎與米蘭時裝周，精緻而細膩地重建了這位當代文化與時尚女王的崛起過程。 https://giloo.ist/video/459?episodeId=459
WESTWOOD：龐克時尚教母 - 正版電影線上看｜Giloo紀實影音每當我設計一件衣服，都必須要有故事，必須要有性格。我覺得那個故事，要能讓人聯想到過去、產生共鳴。我想是因為裡面富含的意義，而且緊扣人類的表達方法，像是你如何走路、如何說話、如何吸引他人的目光。我想這是為什麼我的衣服永遠不朽。—— Vivienne Westwood
紀錄片開頭，薇薇安便讓我印象深刻，雖然年紀已高，眼神與靈魂都在躍動，比我更有活力、更有想法，喜好相當分明！最令我佩服的是，教母不僅僅是在創作自己喜愛的事物，同時也能關心到社會多面向議題和環保，對世界貢獻卓越！地球上能出現這樣一個人真的非常有福氣，藝術層面、產品精緻度、公民意識皆高於一般普羅大眾，可說是偶像等級，希望薇薇安身體健康，持續創作與關懷世界，啟發更多年輕人跟上她獨特且值得學習的腳步！
"I want to keep creating until my final breath—always shaking people to their core." So said the sensational artist Yayoi Kusama, whose bold vision reshaped a generation’s sense of beauty. But what is art? And what isn’t? Giloo presents a selection of eight biographical documentaries, offering a rare glimpse into the lives of trailblazers who have redefined aesthetic boundaries and challenged the way we see the world.
Cinema is undoubtedly another path through which we enter the world. Ingmar Bergman wandered between God and demons, using his own life to probe the depths of emotion—only to discover that solitude was all he ever truly possessed. Yayoi Kusama poured her life into art, fleeing Japan for New York, only to confront the raw realities of gender, race, and power. Destroyed, reborn, and now radiant on the world stage. Vivienne Westwood broke all conventions—proclaiming taboo love and building a punk fashion empire in the heart of London. Music maestro Ryuichi Sakamoto, upon his cancer diagnosis, revisited the delicate bond between life and sound, letting us glimpse his final chapter in all its intimate, everyday details. And then there’s Imelda Marcos—the woman behind three thousand pairs of shoes. In her quest to restore the Marcos regime, she spared no effort. To her, power, money, and beauty are inseparable. But above all, she reminds the world: only a mother’s love can embrace everything. “I am the mother of the Philippines—and of the world. Love. Money.”
Our world is shaped by design. Spaces, clothing, typography—these elements quietly determine how we live, often without us noticing. Let’s turn our attention to the overlooked details and forgotten corners. How do people with a heightened sensitivity to the world around them experience a city? How do they wear their beliefs? How do they bring imagination into form through their hands? How do they speak about design? And how can design be discussed beyond the realm of iconic masters? What everyday creativity lies just within reach, waiting to be seen?
In today’s society, where everything is measured by “efficiency,” the value and effectiveness of “art” and “making art” are constantly questioned. The themed selection What Art Can Do reveals that the act of creating art defies quantifiable KPIs. Artistic creation can withstand the challenges of value-driven thinking—if we are willing to rethink what “value” truly means. After all, every interpretation of value begins with humanity.
