” ‘She’s really conservative. I’m very disappointed in that. She wears jeans. I think jeans are terrible. Those boiled-wool trousers I was talking about that shrank, the ones I sent to her? Well, I took Cora to the terracotta soldiers [sic] and after a bit I said, “I was really hoping that you would wear those trousers.” She said to me, “It’s more important if people are nice people than what they wear.” Westwood’s expression is ambiguous. It’s almost as if she is impressed by her granddaughter’s gumption. So what was her answer? ‘I said, “Rubbish.”’ ” - Vivienne Westwood, in the Daily Telegraph.

Vivienne was interviewed on the same show Agyness Dean was the following week (Friday Night With Jonathan Ross: UK equivalent to Letterman) and her idea of conservative is not being anarchic. All of her work seems to have been about subverting conventional style and clothes being a direct reflection of your attitude to life and society. I can't even imagine what she wore to the British Museum!

PS: I'm very disappointed I didn't get to see the Terracotta Warriors. :-(
