Kate Winslet as Vivienne Westwood?

After Audrey Tautou in Coco Chanel (in Coco before Chanel directed by Anne Fontaine), we will see soon Kate Winslet in Vivienne Westwood. Universal Studios would indeed be thinking about a biopic project (biographical film) that would trace the path of the British creative eccentric. And this is another famous Englishwoman, Kate Winsletwho would be in pole position to embody it.
 
This biopic would be an opportunity to evoke the life of Vivienne Westwoodthat nothing predestined yet to become one of the essential figures of fashion. Born in 1941, Vivienne Westwood moved in 1971 with her husband in a London boutique for which she creates her first punk models that seduce some mythical groups of the time as the Sex Pistols. But it was not until 1981, with a first parade christened "Pirate" that Vivienne Westwood is making itself known and building a reputation that today is second to none.
 
If this biopic project does see the light of day, Kate Winslet will embody for the first time in his career a character who has existed, like Leonardo DiCaprio in the role of Howard Hughes or Nicole Kidman in that of Virginia Woolf.
