I did live in London during the nineties though, and my best friend's husband got married in one of her waistcoats - which impressed us all a great deal at the time.<br /><br />She used to have (still has?) a range of really accessible mens silk business ties. My boyfirend took to wearing them after my best mate's wedding to kind of compete with her cool groom. <br /><br />I love her too - she really is still rocking it, even in her sixites. <br /><br />But I didn't know it was her with the family nude suits! I've seem images of that so many times, always assumed it was just plain weird - now I know it's Vivienne Westwood weird.<br /><br />I always love your fashion posts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06562287637130603845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397483.post-81842917546048282672009-10-09T13:44:50.238-05:002009-10-09T13:44:50.238-05:00I love the total exuberance of it -Paula Yates'...I love the total exuberance of it -Paula Yates' dress when she married Bob Geldof also springs to mind. It's almost beyond fashion.<br /><br />When I saw the V&A exhibition several years ago, something I hadn't realised was her commitment to knitwear - there was a lot there, from every decade, not just when knitwear was "in" elsewhere, and it was all just as beautifully designed as the other clothing.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226617138865451849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397483.post-68131420021106253072009-10-08T16:31:39.431-05:002009-10-08T16:31:39.431-05:00Call me clothes geek -- VW is awesome.Call me clothes geek -- VW is awesome.WikiBobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06214883521092100764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397483.post-54410467848314400882009-10-08T01:34:48.942-05:002009-10-08T01:34:48.942-05:00That's awesome.

There was a time when I didn't miss an issue. When I cared to be 'fashionable', I used to read the mag from cover to cover and then try to imitate some of the things as best as I could on my less than Vogue budget. Vivienne Westwood was a staple in their magazine for a long time.

Being into both punk and fancy dresses, I really love her. <br /><br />I do remember hearing her name involved in fashion stuff, and then hearing the Sex Pistols story and wondering if it was the same Westwood.
