Couture at Vivienne Westwood’s

Having just spent all week on two garments for Vivienne Westwood’s bridal collection, I want to reiterate how pedantic one must be to the point of being anal about finish. This is not a slur it is a painful fact.

Without careful attention to detail the gold label would not be so shiny and expensive. What makes the difference between a garment bought off the peg and a made-to-measure you may also ask yourself.

The classic long ball tie and Cocotte dress were the culprits, seen here worn by actress Kirsten Dunst.
