* VIVIENNE WESTWOOD has gone the celebrity way for her spring/summer 2005 ad campaign, but taking up with the latest blonde Hollywood starlet isn't really her style.
The veteran British designer called upon Marilyn Manson and his ***y sweetheart, Dita Von Teese to pose in her latest designs and the pair will soon be seen strutting their stuff in all the glossies.
Vivienne and her husband and business partner Andreas met the heavily made-up rock star and his fiancée last year at a dinner party and it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
While Vivienne is currently designing Dita's wedding dress, Manson wore her designs during his recent tour and his Personal Jesus track played during both Westwood's spring/summer 2005 womenswear and autumn/winter 2005-6 menswear shows. "I like his music; I like his brain, his looks and his style," says Vivienne.
"He's marrying Dita who must be his dream - I'm looking forward to the dress - and to her act - friends tell me it's something else."
