00:00Vivienne was the original punk and she was deeply radical throughout and I think that
00:26that is shown in everything. It's embodied in everything that we have on view here because
00:31she was never constrained by rules. She would say what she thought. She would take things
00:36and make her own assessment. She was not going to be driven by anybody else.
00:49This dress I would say is probably technically the most significant in the auction because
00:56it is the most substantial just in terms of craftsmanship and scale. Vivienne wore this.
01:02We have photographs of her wearing this. She wears it to a tribute to Vivienne Westwood
01:06at the V&A in 1998.
