The buccaneering designer who changed everything was memorialised at London's Southwark Cathedral.

All of those standing up on the podium implored the audience to continue her life’s work now she was no longer able to, to stand up for injustice in all its forms, and to use the tool we are so privileged to have: our voices. Also speaking were two of her three sons, Joe Corré and Ben Westwood, with Corré regaling the audience with stories of his time as a kid, when Westwood’s former students – from the time she taught in a primary school – turned up at their door clutching bunches of flowers to thank her for her dedication. It was sweet and touching: a poignant reminder of her straight-talking approach, so rare in the fashion industry. With the late designer showing up in a brown velvet catsuit and a pair of Rocking Horse boots, a skinny scarf slung round her hips, and a hot pink leopard faux fur coat on her shoulders, Kronthaler recalled looking at her at a certain point and thinking: “That’s my darling girl, and I would be with her forever.” Beyond this, Westwood also talked about her childhood growing up in the North of England, describing Derbyshire and the windswept Yorkshire Dales and Moors as ”the most beautiful places in the world”. “Bodies wear out, but spirits don’t,” said Helena Bonham-Carter when she stood in front of the audience to speak on the designer’s fashion legacy, and in their billowing Pirate shirts and towering platforms, waist-cinching cocotte corsets and crinolines, and endless strings of glossy pearls punctuated by that iconic Orb, friends, family, and a huge swathe of the world’s fashion community brought a little of her spirit along with them in the clothes on their backs.

His AW23 show was an homage to the late designer's belief that 'fashion is life-enhancing'.

She did a painting of a girl in a yellow sweater with these crimson raspberry pants, and that was a little bit of our colour discussion, that yellow and the red. If I look at a show and I want something, if it’s something that pulls at my heart – whether I need it, whether I’ll use it, then I have to have it. I have so many fashion heroes, and I always think of that incredible Junya Watanabe show, with all the manipulations of military clothes. My reaction was: how come I cared so much about knowing the meaning of things and knowing the importance of things or importance to the person who created them? You were talking about female designers, and all the female designers you admired, including Vivienne, and I thought: that's such a wonderful way of putting it. I remember a pair of pants which had a seam down the back of the leg: they went in at the knee and then curved out at the back to give a very exaggerated silhouette from the side. I do feel like one of the reasons people feel some emotional pull towards what I do is because there is a lot of emotion going into it. Olivia: And she was so fierce and strong in what she wanted to talk about and what she didn’t. They reflect what I've learned, what I've heard, what I'm experiencing, and what I feel in the five-month period that we're putting them together, and then how my feelings affect the others on my team and how they respond to that and how their response affects me. I was friendly with some of the cool Brits who were living in New York, and they just were devoted; all they wore was Westwood – and I mean, from the beginning. She was one of mine, too: she was the first fashion designer whose name I knew; the first expensive thing I bought… In the letter you wrote to accompany it, you made very clear that Vivienne Westwood was one of yours, and that this collection was created partly in her honour.
