Vivienne Westwood has celebrated the 10-year anniversary of that famous Sex and the City wedding dress by creating a series of ready-to-wear pieces inspired by the look. The 2008 film saw Carrie Bradshaw swap an understated vintage skirt suit for a show-stopping voluminous gown by Westwood. The Cloud dress was first seen in the brand's Gold Label 2007-08 collection and was re-designed by the designer specifically for the character. The corset top was created in gold-backed ivory silk-satin duchess and the skirt from metres of ivory silk Radzimir taffeta, creating an exaggerated silhouette, nipped-in waist and a pointed sculptural bust.

My community of black women were grieving yet again.
