Westwoodn't,would you believe?

Vivienne Westwood fans who have been to see Sex and the City: The Movie may have been confused at the sight of the girls attending a Westwood show during Fashion Week in New York, of all places. Westwood has never shown in that city, despite dressing Carrie for her 'wedding' in movieland. That was certainly an odd oversight, considering the number of industry insiders that worked on the film, but what is funnier is Westwood's reaction to the premiere!


The Dame told WENN:

"I thought Sex And The City was supposed to be about cutting-edge fashion and there was nothing remotely memorable or interesting about what I saw.
"I went to the premiere and left after ten minutes."

It's a good thing she qualified her first remark with the time reference- the Fashion Week scene takes place well after the ten minute mark!

Her review must come as a bit of a blow to SATC's Pat Field, though. You don't need to know a lot about the stylist to recognise Westwood is her own personal icon.
