The Witches Collection. This final collaboration between Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood included Keith Haring.
Westwood found 'a magical, esoteric sign language' in the work of the New York graffiti artist Keith Haring. Most importantly, Madonna wore the best piece. A few of the early fans all time favorite skirt, if not the
only skirt - The Devil Skirt!

Evidently, Haring was fuck'd over by Westwood and in mid 1983, Stephen Sprouce approached Haring at his Fun Gallery Exhibit wanting to collaborate on more clothes. Feeling burned and taken advantage of by the Westwood experience, he declined Stephen's offer.
Here are some pics from the collection. Of course, we all knew of this collection via Madonna wearing
that skirt in photo shoots with Eric Watson, Michael Putland and immortalized forever in Mary Lambert's and Madonna's
Borderline 'film'. Also note here, The Real King of Pop, Marilyn modeling on the catwalk.

If one didn't have to peel back the pages of a magazine to see who created what - get off the Lord's bus cause you ain't got correct change.
