John Galliano congratulates Vivienne Westwood on her Anglomania show | Gavin Bond
(Picture: Gavin Bond)Being backstage in the Nineties was electric. Once a show was over, everyone would pile back to congratulate the designer. Here, John Galliano and his right-hand man Steven Robinson (far left) had come back to see Vivienne Westwood after her Anglomania show in Paris on 16 March 1993. I loved Galliano and Westwood, they were both so energetic and different.
My whole career started with Vivienne. I’d just left Saint Martins and hers was my first-ever show. The Times bought my images from backstage and ran them as a story, and Vivienne saw them. The next season I found myself shooting her for a month as she created the collection and then at this show in Paris with her.
