Vivienne Westwood‘s life is full of fashion - and politics. The British fashion designer and “Queen of Punk” is not only well-known for her fashion designs but also for her social engagement and so Westwood speaks out against hydraulic fracturing among others. Last weekend the red-headed designer and eccentric Dame joined anti-fracking protesters at their camp in Balcombe in Sussex. Surrounded by activists, she marched past energy firm Cuadrilla’s exploratory oil drilling site in West Sussex and made demands on a public debate on fracking as she told the Press Association: “I’m anti-fracking and I’m here to protest. There has been no debate. They are trying to rush this thing through, for what?”
