vivienne westwood at the de young museum



today i decided to go to the deyoung museum to see the vivienne westwood exhibit. she's a very influential british fashion designer, plus this is the exhibit's only US stop.


it was amazing to look at her collections, and there was so much to see. the exhibit was organized chronologically and it was great to see how her clothes change in design from punk to mini crini to tailored. it was like stepping into someone's really amazing wardrobe.
