Study of an Icon - Vivienne Westwood

You've got to give it to Dame Westwood...she is an icon for individuality of style.

Modern-day bad boys and girls of fashion (think Alexander McQueen or Australia's Ksubi) owe a lot to the pioneering work of this designer and artist.

Westwood has been designing since the 70s when her famous affiliation with the Sex Pistols marked the beginning of her reign as the Queen of Punk.

For some great pics of the last 30 years of her life and work, check out the Vivienne Westwood website (but be warned, in our era of instant gratification, Westwood's slow-loading website but be a little bit frustrating for some)
