Vivienne Westwood has long been known for her quirky style. But the queen of British fashion has gone from punk to funk with her latest collection.As befitting a woman of Vivienne's unusual stature, the Anglomania collection for Selfridges was showcased in an underground car park.
Celebrities flocked to the event for a first look at the latest Westwood funky style and Tracey Emin, Sadie Frost and Girls Aloud's Nicola Roberts were all there, with Dame Vivienne herself seated in the front row.
The event marked the opening of Selfridge's exclusive Anglomania concept.
Current autumn/winter collections are already on sale but this catwalk show previewed the spring/summer 2010 collection, available from late December.
The range includes everything from funky tribal prints and batiks to a burgundy taffeta ball gown.
Even 13-year-old Dionne Bromfield, who performed two numbers as part of the show, wore a printed prom dress from the collection.
She told the Telegraph: "Her clothes are so different, you just can't find anything like it anywhere."
Which goes some way to explaining why Westwood's shows are such a hit with the celebs.
