Vivienne Westwood, “Open T-Shirt to Derek Jarman…,” 1978.
Collection: V&A, London
Rest in power Vivienne - Not just a fashion designer, a true artist, original thinker, activist. We implore anyone to seek out and watch any interviews you can find of hers, she was unparalleled in here philosophy on s*x and culture and youth, always unexpected, always ernest.
We love the use of clothing as a medium for art and messages, this tee is a great example - and for the most part we agree with the messaging, Jarman’s Jubilee movie somehow missed the point of the whole movement, and committed the cardinal sin of being boring and self important.
