Vivienne Westwood's Spring Summer 10 collection instantly makes me think it was inspired by a childhood full of dressing up, teddies and bed time stories. The pastel yellow and blue pajama striped dresses are a wonderful adaptation of a previously hideous pattern. The shirt pulled on backwards and the slouchy fit of Westwood's signature harem pant is reminiscent of a little girl rummaging through mum's closet and stumbling out in an excess of material. The grey dress in particular demonstrates her talent at creating pieces which almost defy gravity, which is what I am most inspired by; it falls off of the body and the way it hangs gives the impression it could just slip off at any moment. The Dorothyeque look that Daisy is sporting, blue(enough) check and the dog to match also apply to the sleepy, dreamy stories of a far away land where everything is coloured in pastels and it's very existance is unstable.
