Abstract

Vivienne Westwood is one of Britain's best-known and admired fashion designers. She has made a major contribution to international fashion for over three decades and was awarded British Designer of the year in 1990 and 1991. In 1992 she was honoured with the Order of the British Empire for her outstanding contribution to fashion. This exhibition brings together many clothes, accessories and images along with film and music to tell her remarkable and controversial fashion story. Drawn from Westwood's personal archive and the Victoria and Albert Museum's collection, it is the largest exhibition ever devoted to her work. [Gallery media, 2004].
