I got an invitation from Jane a few weeks ago about the Vivienne Westwood Exhibition in de Young Museum. At first I didn’t recall who is Vivienne Westwood was, but as soon as I went to de Young’s website and see the work she did I know who she is and I can’t miss this exhibition.
Vivienne Westwood is both iconoclast and global icon. In the 1970s, she electrified the world with the launch of punk fashion and went on to become one of the most inventive and influential designers of our time. Fashion to her became "a baby I picked up and never put down." Her early work was really extraordinary and unique.
I always hard to except most of the collection form a designer as fashion and I always see it as art. Maybe my definition of fashion is trends that have already been accepted by the public and the fashion world. On the other hand I think art is more personal, subjective, and less functional value. I found her early collection is overly details (I wished photography were allowed so I can show you what I mean), but I do love her early 80s punk style outrageous designs.
