Vivienne Westwood: A Life in Fashion Exhibition

30 January 2009

Do you remember the gorgeous wedding gown that Carrie Bradshaw wore in the film, Sex and the City? Yes, the one designed by the legendary trendsetter, Vivienne Westwood (VW)!

Today, I went to the VW exhibition, held at ArtisTree in TaiKoo Place. The exhibition is organised by Britain's Victoria and Albert Museum and showcases more than 200 creative pieces of ensembles and accessories, chronicling VW's design from the 70's through to the 21st Century, swinging from Punk to Haute Couture. Her designs are extremely innovative and flamboyant. She likes to use tweed and tartan in her funky clothing, adding a touch of British chic. Her cutting edge fashion will always stand the test of time.
