Vivienne Westwood

In terms of costume design, Vivienne Westwood could be a source of inspiration. I think a big challenge for the work will be to think about the costumes in a contemporary framework, while still having ties to tradition. I guess Westwoods designs appeal to me because of their somewhat exciting, sexy and rebellious use of tartan.

Check out some of her contemporary designs at:

Also, this link allows you to make your own tartan. I reckon we could have some fun with that: http://www.vam.ac.uk/vastatic/microsites/1231_vivienne_westwood/tartan.html
