This picture is from the Vivienne Westwood exhibition at the Bowes museum. It's quite different from the other items in the collection. And I found it rather striking. In the past in gay men's workshops I've been invited to find my 'inner woman'. I don't find that particularly easy to locate. But I think in that dress and a pair of heals, it would be natural to sashay through the room with an elegance sliding skilfully along the boundary of come over and don't even think about it!
It is displayed well against the blue and red framed background.
