In 2015, fashion designer Dame Vivienne Westwood debuted an extreme shaved hairstyle as a statement against climate change. At a demonstration in her local borough of Clapham, the 72-year-old revealed her newly shaved head, leaving only a few grey hairs visible. A spokesperson for her fashion label explained that Westwood’s decision symbolized the urgency of addressing climate change. Additionally, she chose to remove the red from her hair, embracing its natural white to express pride in her age. Known for her activism, Westwood frequently used fashion and personal expression to highlight environmental and social issues, reinforcing her commitment to sustainability and climate awareness through bold, unconventional actions.
