VIVA LA REVOLUTION!

In light of the revolutionaries sparking interest across the world - we wanted to compile a quick list of our favourite revolutionaries from our time:

Banksy is a modern day art revolutionary - his style is all about breaking boundaries. He breaks rules and pushes boundaries, for that we salute him!

The Beatles were created out of a willingness to succeed, curiosity to make music with more depth and an exploration into new means of technology - all resulting in revitalising music right into the 21st century. Oh and there style wasn't too bad either...

Che Guevara - we cannot talk about revolutionaries without mentioning one of the greatest men of all time. Che's radical push for change started whilst he travelled through South America, and the scenes he saw there became the catalyst for his future actions & attempts to bring together Latin America. He is one of the most influential people of our time.

Francis Ford Coppola holds the title of one of the greatest film directors of all time, emerging in the 1970's he managed to change the way films were made. The greatest film (in our opinion) he ever made was The Godfather II - it might even be the best film of all time.

Lee Alexander McQueen may be gone but he is not forgotten. Whilst at the helm of Alexander Mcqueen, Lee represented fresh, British talent the way it should be portrayed. Not only did he develop a reputation for using shock tactics to create controversy but also brought a sense of elegant drama to the catwalk.
