i-D’s Terry Jones has delved deep into the magazine's archives and re-emerged with cool images, intimate interviews and some unique reflections on Westwood’s longtime influence on British fashion. The result is a new Taschen book which revisits the rebellious punk rock days of her youth during the 1980s, complete with deets on how she instigated the crinoline craze (aha! so we finally know who to blame!).
Highlights include interviews with Caroline Baker, Caryn Franklin, Ben Reardon & Terry Jones - following the journey of this Dame (who's also a fabulous dame) to her current elder stateswoman perch as part of the fashion "establishment".
Scattered throughout the 120 pages is biographical data, fun factoids, interesting insights & three decades of imagery from the likes of Juergen Teller, Nick Knight & Chen Man.
