Paris (AFP) - Flamboyant fashion designer Vivienne Westwood revealed the secret of her eternal youth Saturday -- only taking a bath once a week.
The 76-year-old queen of punk fashion let it slip after watching her husband Andreas Kronthaler's spectacularly idiosyncratic show at Paris Fashion Week.
Asked by reporters how she managed to look so young, Westwood smiled and said, "Don't wash too much."
"She only takes a bath every week. That's why she looks so radiant," said Kronthaler, who Westwood has described as "the world's greatest designer".
"I only wash once a month," joked the Austrian-born creator, who is 25 years Westwood's junior.
Westwood, an environmentalist and vegetarian who has campaigned against the meat trade depleting water supplies, has previously said that "I just wash my bits and rush out in the morning and more often than not get in the bath after Andreas."
Kronthaler -- who is said to have inspired comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's 2009 fashion satire "Bruno" -- lived up to his reputation for decadent excess in his Paris show which featuring no less than 68 looks and a dozen more human sculptures wrapped in duvets.
"There is nothing better than giving people choice," he told AFP of a collection he said was filled with "lust, desire, sex and sadness.
"We travelled quite a bit this summer and I tried to put it all into it."

Wanna bet she smells like infected cheese on a hot plate?
I always bathe once a month, whether I need it or not.
That’s either a last year pic of oil pipeline protestors; or a Bernie campaign rally.
Aaaaaaak!
I regret reading this thread.
Yet here I am.
Hillary must take this advice.
The reason Old Crusty smells like warmed over tuna casserole
that is revolting! Yuck! lol
It's been a LONG time since I've heard that one...
It must be an individual thing. I am 51 year old woman in good health, average weight, haven’t gone through menopause yet. As it has been since I was thirteen years old, I f I don’t wash my hair EVERY single day, I look like a homeless person. So, I shower and shampoo every day. Trust me when I tell you that I would not look or smell better if I changed this routine. So...I think people should do what makes sense for themselves.
True statement.
Bondo face?
I'll wash, thanks. I split a cord of firewood between yesterday and today and it's a reward. And clean clothes. And cold beer.
Looks like a scene from The Boy Who Cried Werewolf.
I spy a cushion there that I wouldn’t touch with a 10 foot pole.
Although I’d be happy to swab it for a culture...
I once worked where myself & another man were in the same office room—about 12 x 12. He apparently didn’t bathe very often, and even his clothes reeked.
I finally went to the boss & said- IF you don’t give me a different place to do my work, I quit. I got my own room-—with a big window, no less. I can still smell that odor today & this was 40 years ago.
“She only takes a bath every week. That’s why she looks so radiant,”
That greasy shine isn’t radiance, it’s an oily coating conducive to growing all manner of bacteria and mold.
Implants do not age well do they.......
Confirming the stereotype about Europeans and bathing.
