By 2002 she was already established as one of the central figures in British fashion: moving from punk and bondage clothing into historical reinvention, tailoring, and theatrical fashion systems. The photograph catches her not as runway image but as street apparition — hair, profile, light, movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin The New Rare register, the object is interesting because it is not simply a fashion postcard or photography announcement. It is a small commercial support produced by a printing and visual production company, used to announce a lobby and window project. The image of Westwood is carried through another system: artist, sitter, printer, display, address panel, retained card. Portrait as announcement. Fashion figure as printed support.
