Fashion designer Vivienne Westwood is leaving Berlin, for who knows where. She dressed the Sex Pistols in the ’70s, and in 1984 she said something that would make a sassy epitaph for this queen of punk:

“Sometimes you need to transport your idea to a world that doesn’t exist and then populate it with fantastic-looking people.”

Know where she should move? My Imaginary Tokyo. It’s a mesmerizing place where all streets and sidewalks are replaced by gleaming black terazzo floors with glowing rays of Art Deco metal spokes that converge in the city’s absolute center, where a wickedly futuristic castle of silent dark glass holds icy court.

It’s a dream I had. You, too?

Actually, while tracing that quote, I found that it was associated with a particular Westwood collection, one that included “Day-Glo patches inspired by Tokyo’s neon signs.” The name of the collection, however, was Clint Eastwood, and it “hankered after the wide-open spaces in western films,” according to the New York Times. She sounds considerably less enchanted with the U.S. of today:

“The world has become so Americanized that people look uglier than before. The more you consume, the less you think. People should buy less,” she said.
