"...Maybe they weren't on stilts, maybe it was magic."

Giséle Scanlon, one of my favourite fashion journalists/beauty know-it-alls featured, in her last Goddess Guide book (which I most definitely recommend buying, I have editions I and II) a segement on Vivienne Westwood, one of the most inspiring and incredible fashion designers of all time.
Today I found that she actually recorded her interview and (as she stated in her book) the show that Vivienne herself gave her a backstage pass to as well as letting her view her creative process.
Obviously when I found this video I completely lost my shit and even now I feel all giddy and inspired to read, write and draw.
Here is a compilation of stills that I gathered from Giséle's video, I just love all the colours and shapes of Vivienne's work, and how even though some of it is far out, it is still British (see in the video the fur ensemble with the mod symbol on the model's head) and I love how she reminds me of a wacky Queen Elizabeth I.  Her northern accent also made me proper happy.
I will put the video at the end as well along with a link to Giséle's blog.
Absolutely incredible.




Here is the original video for your viewing pleasure:
