Climate Revolution'What have we got here? Global exotic. No matter where you start a collection you absorb the world around you and carry it onto your projection... A kind person sent us a little book on beetles “for inspiration”. Coloured markings and patches, iridescence, wing cases and wings, hard articulated bits, antennae. We interpreted the patches as holes filled with ruched self-fabric which puffed up but pulled and stretched and because these patches didn’t fit very well they left little corners and lumps sticking up around where they were inserted. These insect cuts talk about human bodies. Then – because we had visited the Prado – there is the influence of costume in Velasquez; slashed clothes had evolved into great bands describing large silhouettes....Really the only connection with the collection and the Climate Revolution is the title but I want to remind you that it has begun'Vivienne Westwood
