70 year celebration!


Fashion designer Vivienne Westwood turned 70 this month, so here is a tribute to the incredible designer.
...........



Shoes from her Anglomania days
1993




This is strange but I remember watching this moment on the 6 o'clock news when I was a kid!....Naomi taking a tumble in a Westwood catwalk show 1993-5.




Kate and Naomi during those Anglomania days. Naomi wearing Westwood.
I have never been able to shake this image out of my head from the moment I first saw it.





Detail shots of a Fall 1997 show.




John Galliano and Vivienne Westwood in 1993.
Two of my favourite designers that heavily influenced my work back when I was studying fashion.

This video is quite something. Vivienne Westwood is being interview on BBC1 in 1988 by Sue Lawley, with guests Russell Harty and Janet Street-Porter.
That Russell guy is a total dickhead; I don't understand why the audience is laughing and I am so glad that Janet Street-Porter (who looks great!) says what she says at the end about Viv.
Dame Westwood conducts herself with such grace, I would have been extremely angry!
I absolutely adore the collection of outfits she is showing here.
