The Grand Dame of British Fashion

 

Vivienne Westwood got her start in the Kings Road, designing clothes for punk rockers back in the 1970s.  Over the decades she moved from streetwear to haute couture, mixing elements of club style with tradtional UK fashion however she wishes.

Vivienne Westwood at a Glance 

Dame Vivienne Westwood, DBE, RDI, (born 8 April, 1941) is an English fashion designer largely responsible for bringing modern punk and new wave fashions into the mainstreamhttp://www.metmuseum.org/TOAH/HD/vivw/hd_vivw.htm.

She is linked with the Sex Pistols via Malcolm McLaren and their SEX boutique on Kings Road, Chelsea in London during the 1970s. The shop was at 430 Kings Road.

"I think feminists are unaware of the tremendous extent of the role of women in history."

The Shoes That Toppled Naomi 

Once upon a time, right in the middle of walking the catwalk during a Vivienne Westwood fashion show, model Naomi Campbell fell right off her fabulous Westwood shoes. In other words, she tripped.

These are those famous shoes. I secretly took a picture of them when they were on display at the SF MOMA show in 2007. They are a beautiful royal blue alligator texture with massive platforms.

I'm very proud to own a genuine Westwood t-shirt! My mother brought it back for me from a trip she took to London and made me absolutely swear never to ask her how much it cost...
