Seen the show, bought the dress, got the t-shirt and squirted the perfume. Now get ready for the rug. Vivienne Westwood the grandmother of punk and possibly still the most formidable living female in fashion recently came up with a set of carpet designs for The Rug Company. When you scrutinise most trends from fat platforms to corsets to grunge to leggings, this lady did it first. Home furnishings are the latest to get the Westwood manifesto (long overdue I hear you say). If you are currently looking for a design statement chez-nous, Westwood's tattered punky Union Jack might tickle your fancy. She's even done matching cushions. The outspoken designer, now in her sixties, joins an illustrious line-up of designers and fashion editors including Matthew Williamson and Diane von Furstenberg and Vogue's Lucinda Chambers who have collaborated with the British carpet company.
