Vivienne Westwood, opened her new exhibition at Selfridges in London featuring 200 pairs of shoes designed through out her career. The collection features an array of unique pieces that were showcased in the Paris runways and the infamous 10 inch platforms that landed Naomi Campbell flat on her butt! Check out the amazing pieces and I have to admit, Vivienne Westwood looks great in her sexy slit dress, the exhibition will run from August 26th through September 22th 2010, if you’re in the U.K. you can’t miss this awesome showcase.
The 69-year-old Westwood fondly recalls one of her first shoe purchases in the 1950s, a pair of stilettos from a shop in Manchester which she wore to school, earning her a less than approving comment from her teacher, using her maiden name: “‘Vivienne Swire, if God had intended us to walk on pins he would have given them to us.’” source AP
