According to the brand, the original concept from director Lorna Tucker was to focus on Westwood’s social, political and environmental campaign work, but the resulting documentary shows little evidence of this.
“Lorna Tucker asked to film Vivienne’s activism and followed her around for a couple of years, but there’s not even five minutes [of] activism in the film,” a Twitter statement read. “Instead there’s lots of old fashion footage which is free and available to view online. It’s a shame because the film is mediocre, and Vivienne and Andreas are not.”
Though slated for release in the spring of 2018, the Dogwoof production has come to light at the Sundance Film Festival, where it is competing in the World Cinema Documentary category. Tucker, who has previously produced short films for Westwood, as well as for high-profile brands such as Nike and Alexander McQueen, has not commented on Westwood’s Twitter statement.
The news follows the Versace family’s decision to distance itself from The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, and that the nine-part television series chronicling Gianni Versace’s death must be considered fiction.
