The Go-Betweens, by Marc Hom, May 1997
Vivienne Westwood with her wire-haired fox terrier Alexandra in the bicycle basket. Miss Westwood and model are wearing the designer's Red Label spring/summer 1997 collection. 'Vogue' once described her as the 'Queen of King's Road', cycling from her home in Clapham to her shop World's End. Her forte is taking elements of British dress and twisting them around, from tweeds to the traditional twinset and pearls. And for a designer who has a label called 'Anglomania' her choice of a wire-haired fox terrier is not surprising: it's so English, and its great era of popularity was the inter-war period of well-cut tweeds and courageous eccentricity.
