The Sassy Vivienne Westwood, a woman so cool that she was allowed to smoke in the offices of Paper Magazine, is making the no-nonsense Chancellor of Germany a fashionable offer. According to British Vogue:

"VIVIENNE WESTWOOD has offered to dress the German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose conservative style has often seen her compared to Margaret Thatcher. 'If Mrs. Merkel wants to wear Westwood, I can promise that I will design clothes for her that will make her look chic, refined and influential,' the 65-year-old designer told Stern. 'For me, Thatcher has always been one of the world's best-dressed people. Her politics were appalling, but her look gave her incredible presence.'"
