She's a wonderful designer. I saw a whole section to her in a history of punk book.

I like her work. I would love a shirt of the cowboys. It would kill my bf whose a big Dallas Cowboys fan.

Absolutely love the Manson and Dita pictures. I believe Dita's wedding dress was designed by Vivienne and it was gorgeous.

Dita's wedding dress was heavenly, but I don't like those ads....they have no feeling, they leave me feeling blank. And that bag isn't my cup of tea.

the 80s...

At the height of big shoulders and power dressing, Vivienne Westwood unveils her 'Mini Crini' collection and declares her love for feminine power. She emphasises the small waist instead of the shoulders by drawing attention to the hips with a short swinging crinoline, the 'criniscule', or puffball skirt. The shoulder is reduced to its natural size by means of the classic proportions of English tailoring using princess lines, which can be worn over the crini. This important move redefines Vivienne Westwood’s vision as a designer, English tailoring remaining to this day the foundation of her work.

John Fairchild, President of Fairchild Publications and Editor of the fashion bible Women’s Wear Daily, rates Vivienne Westwood in his book 'Chic Savages' one of the six best designers in the world, the only woman amongst them.

Thank you for the beautiful pictures, Valerique!

Does somebody remember what's the name of a model she used a lot and who was sometimes considered a muse to her? I think her name was Sarah, but I don't remember her last name...
