Fashion — 1983
Skirt
'Mudman' skirt from the World's End "Witches" collection produced by Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren in 1983. Tight fitting calf length skirt of navy blue fleece with large white ribbed waistband. The skirt is printed with a black silhouette of the mudman.
The skirt was worn in the 1980s by the male clothes designer Dane Goulding, a cross-dresser. He commented: ‘I really owe a huge debt to Miss/Mrs Westwood…I honestly never bought her clothes to look cute, I always felt as though I was commenting on a world I was really unhappy with’.
