Fashion's original enfant terrible maybe viewed more as a dotty old aunt these days, but the women most famous for putting safety pins in Johnny Rotten's leather bondage strides still revels in her continued ability to shock - even if she's now more likely to induce laughter than horror. (Who could forget Naomi Campbell falling over while trying to walk wearing a pair of 12-inch platforms?) With collections ranging from garish ruffle effect dresses to leave-nothing-to-the-imagination hot pants, Ms Westwood's designs are definitely for attention seekers only, but are certainly worth looking at just for the sheer imagination that has gone into them.
