35 years of eccentricity and underground fashion. A big retrospective dedicated to Vivienne Westwood opened during the Milan fashion week in Palazzo Reale.
The Palazzo Reale in Milan was the perfect craddle to welcome the Scottish kilts, the Sex Pistols tees, or the metal chain's dresses displayed in the show until January 20, 2008.
The exhibition "35 years Vivienne Westwood fashion" opens with a black shirt designed in leather, showing small bones connected by metal chains. The tone is set.
Everything became when she was helping her boyfriend of the time, Malcom McLaren, manager of the Sex Pistols, designing clothes for Johnny Rotten and the musicians of the group.
She then moved to a store on King's Road in London, which quickly became legendary.
Today, there are 150 creations are displayed in a very a rock'n roll way. Queen of provocation, her first fashion show was shown in 1981 and entitled "Pirate," a subtle blend of sensuality and eccentricity. At 66 years, she is still on the frontrow. She presented her latest collection on 1 October 2008 in Paris. Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese rank among the various role models that have been featured in her add campaigns... still rock'n'roll !
