Fashion iconoclast Vivienne Westwood said she created clothes for heroes.
"Anyone who wants to feel romantic about themselves. If you ever wished you were 6 feet tall and you weren't, you just wear some of my clothes and that's what you'll feel like."
Westwood, who died on Thursday, practised what she preached: When she met the Queen in 1992, she arrived at Buckingham Palace without knickers. We know this because she bravely did a twirl in front of the paparazzi pack in the palace courtyard.
