"Little children at that age, they are somehow... they have got a little genius in them... and they just get on with things. And they think the world is totally conquerable. And you give them a silk dress and tell them to paint it with snakes, and they have got no problem. They just get on with it. We can conquer it. This is the feeling they have, and this is what they put into their work."

And we got a letter back which was wonderful, and that was kind of as much as we expected. Then months later, about two months ago we got a call saying would they (the children) like to paint on a couple of clothes that might go down the catwalk? So, we said yes, of course."

CHILDREN HELP DESIGN HIGH FASHION
Luxury brands pulled out the stops in Paris on Monday with creative displays designed to ward off fears of recession that have cast a pall over the retail sector.
Rebel British designer Vivienne Westwood thumbed her nose at convention, enlisting primary school pupils to hand-paint her designs with an eco-friendly theme.
The class from Nottingham, England, let their paintbrushes loose on a cream velvet jacket, a navy taffeta dress and boiled Shetland knits, with results that veered between tribal art and the paintings of U.S. artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.
