The exhibition titled ‘Vivienne Westwood Shoes: An Exhibition 1973- 2010‘ was held at Selfridges Ultra Lounge, London, England. The event started on August 25 and will end on September 22. A spokesperson from the department store said: “The exhibition traces the exceptional success of Westwood’s career to date and presents her outstanding artistic individuality. Illustrating her defiance of the rules of wearability and convention, the exhibition is also evidence of her uncompromising quest for superb craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Among the display, there are her iconic Pirate Boots which remains popular among fashionistas and Mock-Crock Elevated Gilllies in which Naomi Campbell famously tripped on the catwalk. Westwood is certainly known for her extreme designs. She explained, “Shoes must have very high heels and platforms to put women’s beauty on a pedestal.
