Vivienne Westwood Opus Manifesto

Ever considered paying £1400 for a book? It's the price you'll have to pay for the Vivienne Westwood Opus Manifesto, but with just 900 copies available worldwide, it could be a shrewd investment.

This hefty volume (90cm tall, 64cm wide and weighing 25kg) is being made in batches of 100, each batch with a different Westwood-designed linen cover and indiviidually numbered. Inside there are 196 pages and 97 huge Polaroid images, all taken on the Polaroid 20 x 24 Studio camera.

The images are of Vivienne's friends and family, include international celebrities and important personalities within the world of fashion, all wearing one of her creations, with each celebrity signing their own polaroid. Want names? Well, how about Helena Bonham Carter, Kate Moss, Phillip Treacy, Tim Burton, Jerry Hall, Sarah Ferguson, Naomi Campbell, Bob Geldof, Erin O'Connor and Tracy Emin.
