Grand Dame Vivienne Westwood is impossibly cool. The orange-haired style maven, who brought punk style to the masses, protests all injustices in our society, and designs a mean tartan blazer, is prepping to takeover iTunes with her new album.

Aptly entitled Catwalk Breakdown, the British designer put together quite a funky mixtape, which includes everything from The New York Dolls' Personality Crises to Tchaikovsky's Sugar Plum Fair. On her journey into music, Westwood said: "My clothes always tell a story... And I choose the music accordingly. Sometimes the music can just be sexy, it can let you relax, look at the clothes, put people into a fantastic mood."

All those able to get an invite to the "exclusive" London Fashion Week event taking place at Selfridges today will be able to walk away with an enviable goodie bag as well as the rocking mixtape by Westwood.
