“Whatever she did, she did with real artisanship and craft. If something came back from Mr Green in the East End with a seam in the wrong place, Vivienne was on it.”
That’s what I’ve felt just looking at the clothes, so good to have that confirmed.
I read something yesterday that said she had a sewing machine at home for years and that she used outworkers to do some of the pieces but a lot of it she made and did all the sampling too.
Its one thing to design something and something else to cut and make it. Incredible autodidactic talent.

I bought a secondhand Vivienne Westwood deep purple velvet jacket at Kensington market in the mid 90’s and I looked the mutts nuts in it. It was relegated to the parents attic after I fairly rapidly moved on from a 38 chest and 32 waist and subsequently kept moths well fed 
The workmanship on the collars was outstanding.
