Vivienne Westwood: Quintessential Music-Fashion Bond

TToday’s recommended video content is perhaps more subtle than yesterday’s post about Burberry’s latest advertising campaign for the fashion house’s new Body fragrance.

The video, itself, is over two years old, but should still be considered very carefully as evidence for the long-standing bond between the fashion and music industries. I am, of course, talking about Vivienne Westwood. From her humble beginnings designing clothes that the Sex Pistols would wear, to her current status as world-famous fashion designer and Dame, Vivienne Westwood has stuck to her Do it Yourself principle from the very beginning.

In this interview on the Jonathan Ross show, Vivienne Westwood subtly alludes to the punk origins of her fashion career. Dotted Music has kindly chosen to start the video below from the relevant section (3.02), and we hope you continue to Tweet your opinions @Dotted Music. What is it about the music and fashion industries that enables one person to impact to such a degree?

Perhaps only Vivienne Westwood can tell us.
