LAST
CHANCE TO SEE
VIVIENNE WESTWOOD AT THE V&A
*** EXTENDED DATE - to 18 July 2004 ***
In association with Motorola
The V&A's
Vivienne Westwood exhibition has been extended by one week and will close
to the public on 18 July.
The exhibition
is the largest the V&A has ever dedicated to a British designer and
features more than 150 designs mainly selected from the V&A's collection
and Vivienne Westwood's personal archive. The show examines Westwood's
career from the 1970s to the present day.
Westwood has been a major influence on fashion design from haute couture
to ready-to-wear. Her career has spanned the punk era including outfits
worn by the Sex Pistols in the 70s which she designed with Malcolm McLaren
to grand ball-gowns influenced by historical art and dress.
The Vivienne
Westwood exhibition will tour to the National Gallery of Australia in
Canberra from 11 November 2004 to 30 January 2005.
