That embellishment on the encrusted masculine corseted jacket. WOW

Celebrating her legacy by watching this little gem today. The world has lost a great creator. 💔

Vivienne Westwood was a force of nature, an eco warrior and a cultural iconoclast. Her genius was to take inspiration from the past. She will be sorely missed. I wish I'd met her. I'd have loved to have spoken to her: Thank you so much for your wonderful work and life, Vivienne, you are a hero.

"Forget about the costume.. just concentrate on the person" Revealing / awakening phrase to rethink. Vivienne, you are such a diamond in this mire ♥

I love the fact that she had such a broad vision and wasn't restricted and boxed-in by rules governing her creativity. It was the same, in her era of youth, for music - imagination, and the artistic world in general. The classical and very broad education that earlier generations enjoyed, were the impetus to creative thinking and discovery. Concerning this video at the start - the garments of the Mme Recamier era were also those of Josephine de Beauharnais - Napoleon's Josephine - in the post-revolution style - there is a term for that era and it's style but I can't remember it for sure. Directoire perhaps? I only wrote this after watching those scenes and have yet to watch the rest of it. Today's era asks more of the artist and anyone with a creative bent - you have to be prepared to research it all and learn as you grow - the restricted climate of everyone obliged to think alike has had its own constraining influence on culture - individuality and the sense of adventure that so rewarded us in past decades.

How wonderful to see Anne Hollander

ich mag ihre extravagante mode

Is it possible that the way you see the male form of the 18th century … quite literally possibly … had some to do with the theatrics of ballet at this time

Wow
