Since my teenage years I have been a fan of Vivienne Westwood. Probably because of the manga "NANA" by Ai Yazawa. The manga itself is very touching, a must read, in my opinion. However, I don't think it would have had the same impact on the viewer if the main characters had milder fashion sense. That kind of punk-cool look became the backbone for my sense of style even now. Something about it was so powerful without even trying to be. I knew then, that it was the look for me.
