Vivienne Westwood has been my idol in terms of designers, ever since I started becoming interested in fashion. She's so quirky, and is not afraid to push boundaries; something that I really admire. Last christmas, my parents bought me this book for christmas, and I started to love her even more as I read about her life and where she gets inspiration from. She's just generally an incredibly inspirational woman. I hope to be as fearless as her when I start my fashion career.
I am now in the process of trying to decide whether it is worth saving up a load of money, so that I can buy one of her beautiful creations. Of anyone, I'd want my first designer piece to be one of hers. I am about 90% certain that I will go ahead, despite my low monthly wage!
So, to indulge myself in preparation, I have been looking on a few websites (thought not many places sell her things online!) to see the possibilities...
This shirt dress is really lovely and clean-looking. The neckline is beautiful, with the peter pan collar. I'm not normally a wearer of lower necklines, but I do really like this. I probably wouldn't shell out for this though, as it wouldn't really be an investment. I want something SIGNATURE Westwood, that I will always treasure.
Haha, I really do love this waistcoat. It's rather insane, but that's what she's all about! It all looks rather off, with the strange neckline and wonky buttoning, but it really works for me. The back is unusual as well, although I haven't pictured it. I don't normally wear pink, but I even love the colour of this!
I would buy this solely for the slashed satin. I was amazed when I saw all of those outfits, with the same slashes, in my book, as it was all done so intricately. It makes the fabric look like that corrugated metal!
Oh goodness, I'd love to own a pair of pirate boots. They're so...iconic. And really gorgeous. I have a thing for fastenings at the moment, so these suit me just fine! They'd definitely be a long term investment, and I would treasure these... I could wear them with anything! Hehe, look at me rambling away...! I must admit, these are my first choice out of the ones I've shown.
Let's hope that the shop lives up to my expectations, eh?
P.S. I am about to embark on quite an exciting project, which I hope to share with you in the next week or so. It's a first for me, but I hope to continue with this.
