who are the new elizabethans

During this project we have looked a lot at how the elizabethans have effected our society and influenced so many people and yet i haven't even recognised that we are all in fact the new elizabethans. after all we are all born under queen elizabeths reign now are we not? and yet as part of the project we have been tested agin by the question who are the new elizabethans. Now this question stunted me not because i found it difficult to thick of people that could come under this category but because i had too many. our world is filled with iconic people that could come under this new elizabethans title.

luckily for me my options were narrowed down when we were provided with the telegraphs proposed top  60 'new Elizabethans' to choose from. when looking down the list I found myself more obliged to look at the women. which made me think will this elizabethan era be remembered in the way the first was, ruled by a woman and very much remembered for a strong empowered women. Either way weather it will or won't I do believe that from this list the true new elizabethan is a woman, Dame Vivienne Westwood.

Coming in at number 37 is my choice. Vivienne Westwood represents everything british to me. to begin with she is a renowned fashion designer and icon spreading her visions and unique ideas across Britain and british film and run ways. This is the most obvious thing she is known for of course. but on top of this vivienne Westwood uses her well known name and celebrity status for the best and attends rallies. Westwood has been very charitable in her career and even if it is political if it is something she feels passionately about she is all for spreading her views towards the british public.
