"You have a much better life if you wear impressive clothes."
- Vivienne Westwood




I'm always up for fashionable art, and at the de Young museum I got to see the revolutionary clothes from Dame Vivienne Westwood. For only 5 bucks, you get to see her 36 years in fashion of celebrated pieces that influenced many designers of today. Her collection on display ranges from her early years, to the punk age, pirates, witches, tailoring, corsets and to gorgeous evening wear.
"Known best for her fearless nonconformity, she also has a profound respect for the past and looks to it for inspiration. With tradition as her springboard, she takes historic garments such as corsets and crinolines and reinvents them in new ways or uses thoroughly British fabrics like tartans and tweeds to create fashion that gently parodies Establishment styles." Also those high blue heels that Naomi Campbell wore are on display. Witness fashion pieces of history before it packs up.
