What can I say about the Grande Dame of British Fashion that hasn't already been said... "flame-haired godmother of punk", "cutting edge but classic", "icon of the fashion world". She stands out in an ocean of great designers because she is outspoken, eccentric, inspirational and just plain genius! Everything she stands for, from political to social and environmental, is translated into her clothes and, while some say her designs are not their cup of tea, it's quite hard for anyone to deny the amount of detail, craftsmanship and exquisite tailoring that go into Westwood's designs. Sadly for me though, my pockets don't reach far enough to afford a Vivienne Westwood piece quite yet, but that doesn't stop me from compiling a favourites folder dedicated to her Highness, so here's to dreaming...

Funnily enough, the day after I had been pining over the items in this post I came across this dress in a charity shop and, as you can imagine, I was over the moon! Striped, tailored, oversized, asymmetric.. all my favourite qualities in a Westwood piece. So if I can't have the real deal at least I have found the next best thing!
