Marmite, the Staffordshire-made... er... delicacy(!)
is holding a series of special events to commemorate their centenary,
and the designer, famously known for her punk clothes, is joining
in.
British through and through
 |
|
Vivienne
Westwood
|
Marmite,
which is based in Burton, say they're working Vivienne because it,
and she, are well-known as British icons, with a touch for irreverence
and eccentricity.
The cheeky Love/Hate T-shirts feature the ‘Union Jack’ as well as
the instantly recognisable Marmite label.
Vivienne Westwood is most famous for her part in creating the extraordinary,
revolutionary look of punk movement of the 1970's.
With partner Malcolm McLaren (manager of the Sex Pistols) she launched
the variously named Kings Road shops Let It Rock (1970), Too Fast
to Live Too Young To Die (1972), Sex (1974), Seditionaries (1976),
and Worlds End (1981).
Ok - now, how do you get one?
If you can't win one (see Marmite website), you can buy one - by sending
in a Marmite label plus £9.99.
