Why Granny Vivienne's "Disappointed"

Being told off by your grandmother is nobody's favourite way to spend a Monday, but if you're  Cora Corre, granddaughter of Vivienne Westwood, the feeling is worse still. Westwood chose to reveal publically that she was "disappointed" in Corré for choosing to go skiing rather than walk, as she has done for the past two seasons, in Westwood's Red Label show on Sunday and, as is typical of the outspoken designer, she didn't pull any punches on the topic.

"I think she is wasting her opportunity," Westwood said after the show. "She should use me. I'll be dead and she will think, 'What was that woman talking about?'"

A family friend insisted that there was "no animosity" and that Corré was simply taking a break as she prepares for her A-levels. But this isn't the first time that Westwood has passed comment on the 17-year-old's choices, saying last year: "She's a beautiful girl, but I wish she would use it to stand for something, although it's terrible for me to impose that on anybody. I would also like to see more of her. She's a teenager, she's busy."

Corré stated last summer of her plans to continue modelling once she completes her studies, and revealed that her parents, designers Joe Corré and Serena Rees, who together founded Agent Provocateur were supportive but had cautioned that she shouldn´t get wrapped up in it.¨
