Vivienne Westwood Talks to Kirsty Wark

Kirsty Wark interviews the fashion icon Vivienne Westwood about her career as one of Britain's most inventive and influential fashion designers. Filmed on location at her V&A retrospective, Vivienne Westwood discusses her career from the early days of designing clothes worn by the Sex Pistols to her catwalk shows. She gives an insight into how she works, including her use of very British fabrics such as Harris tweed and tartan and her reinterpretation of historic garments such as the corset and crinoline.
