She also spoke of how inspired she had been by the visual culture she had helped create, reflecting: “I remember as a child riding the bus home from school and driving by Kings Road seeing all the punks with their risk taking way of dressing and hair. It was revolutionary!”
Sharing a dramatic photo of herself wrapping her legs around the star while clad in a punk-style Vivienne Westwood tartan outfit and a pair of bright blue patent knee-high platform boots, she declared her the “original Queen of Fashion”.
“I didn’t know [in my school days] that I would meet Vivienne Westwood in ’86 and not only get to work with her but be able to call her a friend.” she mused.
Meanwhile, supermodel Helena Christensen also had her say on the fashion legend, lamenting that with “so many magical outfits still to create”, she had “somehow imagined Vivienne living way into her 100s”.
