Dame Vivienne Westwood DBE, RDI

We were proud and honoured to have Dame Vivienne Westwood as one our patrons until her sad passing in December 2022. A British fashion designer and businesswoman known for her uniqueness and individuality, Dame Vivienne had been a patron of Action for Asperger’s for a number of years and was a keen supporter of our work.
