PICTURE THIS
VIVIENNE WESTWOOD CATWALK
by Alexander Fury with Vivienne Westwood and Andreas Kronthaler (Thames & Hudson £55) THERE is a Vivienne Westwood T-shirt with ‘DESTROY’ emblazoned across the front which exemplifies one of the ever-evolving designer’s few consistencies: her conventionsmashing ethos. This is a catwalk down memory lane, from Westwood’s 1980 show, Pirate, to her most recent collections. Kate Moss is pictured (above) in the Autumn/Winter 1993-4 collection, Anglomania, a blend of impeccable English tailoring and French couture with a splash of tartan for good measure. As this fabulous book reveals, Moss and other supermodels were paid in something far more valuable than money: clothes.
