Cora Corré resigns, claims betrayal at Vivienne Westwood brand

In the United Kingdom, Cora Corré, granddaughter of the late fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, has publicly expressed dissatisfaction with the management of her grandmother's brand. On October 22, 2024, she announced her resignation from her role as campaigns manager, citing concerns over the treatment of the company's foundation principles and the late designer's legacy. In her resignation letter, she accused the brand's chief executive, Carlo d'Amario, of betraying and disrespecting her grandmother's wishes regarding the identity and vision for the brand. Cora's letter addressed allegations about unpaid royalties, which have contributed to a broader sense of discontent among existing staff. Cora's decision signals a potential rift within the company, as she takes a stand in defense of her grandmother's revolutionary approach to fashion and activism. This development raises questions about the future direction of the brand and how it will reconcile its legacy with contemporary business practices.
