Quote of the week: Vivienne Westwood



That's Not My Age loves Auntie Viv and so I was dead chuffed when this black & white image popped into my inbox. Taken in 1998 for Madame Figaro by photographer, JP Masclet, this lovely portrait features in the new exhibition, A Positive View, at Somerset House. Monsieur Masclet tells me that he was shooting inside the designer's Battersea studio but decided to go outside and take one shot with this wonderful 1950s coach, when Madame Westwood quipped, 'Are you trying to say something by putting me next to the back end of a bus?'

A Positive View is at Somerset House from 10 March - 5 April 2010

Love her coat and her quote! Wonderful and I would very much like to see that exhibition.
p.s. - did you see that FF channeled Amanda H on Friday as you suggested!

Looking Fab and Kwana - very cool coat, she does look wonderful and not at all like the back end of a bus.

S-E - yes I did see FF chanelling AH. I am inspired.
