party details fr hintmag.com
Mar. 30: After inventing the punk dress code over 30 years ago, then reinventing all variety of big and wide aristocratic dress from centuries past, it's about time that the ever-contradictory Vivienne Westwood is granted a show at London's Victoria & Albert Museum, the first full retrospective in her honor anywhere. For the opening night, rumor has it that the toast of the town refused to invite other designers, especially the three big macs, but that didn't stop Burberry mastermind Christopher Bailey or shoe king Manolo Blahnik from popping by. Also paying their congratulations were Kate Moss, wearing a green Westwood number from 1982, with on-again-off-again Jefferson Hack in tow, as well as Sadie Frost, artist and longtime muse Tracey Emin, the other muse Sarah Stockbridge, and Elizabeth Jagger, who first walked for Viv at the tender age of 14, with mum Jerry Hall, who's walked more than her share of Westwood runways over the years. And then there were the other 2000 guests, many of whom sported an assortment of iconic Westwood garb, from torn tees with ransom note stenciling to crowns, corsets and skirts on men. While people were convinced that the shoes on display would be carried off by some drunk bastard since most were attached with only a piece of string that nail clippers could have cut through (apart from the glass-encased 10-inch high Mock Crocs that the catwalk-strutting Naomi Campbell famously fell from), we shudder to think who would mess with the mother of all rebels.
