I like that she's heading in so many different directions at one time.

VW endeavour with Bodymetrics article April 2007 http://www.bodymetrics.com/harrods.html

VW at the Trafford Centre April 2007 http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/lifestyle/health_and_beauty/s/1005/1005223_vivienne_westwood_hits_the_trafford_centre.html





Prices according to the article in the Manchester - Pirate boots (£355), umbrellas (from £85) silvery Pandora evening bag (£260) Choker 3-Row Pearl (£325) and the Mini Bas earrings (£65). The boots alone are quite interesting to me.

She's so punk... last time Amethyst (a multi-brand store in KL back in the 90's) used to carry her line but after the economic downturn, nobody wants to wear her eccentric designs...

Vivienne actually designs gold lable only, her husband is doing the men's wear. Red lable and anglomania are "design" by her studio designers, there's less and less originalty in these two labels ... they do have a different colour theme fabric and prints each season, but sadly that might be the only difference between winter and summer collection.. styles are somehow exactly the same

I don't know why my attachments of images from the article posted above are not visible.

Sadly, the retrospective show in San Francisco isn't coming to New York. But someone sent me the book done for the exhibit, published by the V&A Museum in 2004.

I've never scanned something to post so I hope this works!

In the February 2007 issue of ID magazine Westwood says she designs the Gold label AND Red label, and Andreas does the menswear. It was a great interview with a photo layout of Viv, Andreas and Sarah Stockbridge.

Where can one get vintage westwood? I mean westwood from back in the 80s and early 90s. I know a few pieces show up on ebay on occasion, but very seldomly.

there's a Vivienne Westwood Archive line (Born in England) comprising the most remarkable items from her past collections. sold in VW stores throughout the world. I actually own a few pieces from her 1984/5 Clint Eastwood collection...

 

[blondycristina]

I love it =)

 

[ApertureRomance]

I really want that grey and gold anglomania dress

 

[JuiceMajor]

Can't wait for the new flagship store in Leeds.
