Fashion Anglomania

Talk of the town: Her creations are worn by everyone from Helena Bonham-Carter to the Duchess of Cornwall, and in 'Sex and the City', Carrie gets married in a Westwood dress.

The flame-haired grand dame of British fashion, Queen Viv has been rocking London since the 1970s, when her punk designs became hugely influential and the whole country coveted voluminous tartan, edgy corsets and ironic tees complete with tea stains and safety pins.

Now she's more known for her distinctive, flattering tailoring. The Conduit Street flagship store houses the main Gold Label line, the more casual Anglomania and a range of accessories. Opposite at number 18 is Vivienne Westwood MAN, the first boutique dedicated solely to menswear. Yes, her clothes are expensive, but they're also iconic.
