Plus Size Corset Biography
There was a boy at her school whom everyone called Dirty Edward; nobody liked him. So she told everyone she was his girlfriend. "He was a poor little thing. He was in his own head and never talked to anybody. He'd been isolated and avoided all love, probably even from his mother." I wonder if she had the same impulses to save Malcolm. Did she see him as a little boy who wasn't loved, rejected by his mother, and left to grow up with a cruel grandmother whom he believed was his mother? She giggles. "I can see that, yes. Everybody thought that boy was a pain in the arse, but you know I like a bit of a rebel."
Have her children inherited her spirit of rebellion? "Yes, but not really. My children have got mixes of me in them, but of course each child is an alien. They are nothing to do with you, they are not your possessions."
She has two sons: Ben Westwood, who runs a photographic company in Japan, and Joe Corré, who co-founded the British lingerie label Agent Provocateur.
Joe is brilliant at strategy. He came on the Let's Talk About Fracking campaign with me. We tried to have a debate about this, but none of the pro-frackers would come. Do you know people in fracking areas in America are having to spend $1000 a month because their water is poisoned?"
She is on a crusade now and the only thing that stops her is when her husband, Andreas, comes up. He is tall and impressive, curly hair and penetrating blue-grey eyes. They met when he was a student of hers. She has said that he has the kind of body that Arnold Schwarzenegger would have had if he hadn't pumped himself up.
He is rather strapping and gentle all at the same time. And while Westwood talks about how much she dislikes US President Barack Obama and doesn't like the look of his wife, Michelle, Andreas thinks "she's got flair, she's got style. That little cardigan she wears. That's her look."

Westwood says, "Well, I could dress her, of course. But she's married to someone disgusting and therefore she ought to be doing something about not letting things happen or trying to divorce him. But I suppose that's no reason why you shouldn't make somebody look good.
Thank goodness Ben and Joe were both very easy babies. I looked after all of them. All three. Little Joe and Ben - and Malcolm, who was a student. Malcolm didn't help at all. He wouldn't help. He refused, because he had said it was my decision to keep Joe. I said to him, "Malcolm, you've got to at least take Joe to nursery for me in the morning. It's too much for me to drop him off every day."
I was late for work nearly every morning, being threatened with the sack, and Malcolm's still in bed. Poor Joe - I'd be cramming milk and food at him and running down such a long road to the nursery with his ever-heavier weight - we couldn't afford a pram - then back on the bus with Ben to my job. My life and the life of my children was very, very hard. And in the evenings, there'd be washing and sorting and cooking and cleaning, and I did a lot of school preparation in the evening. I was exhausted.
Malcolm was horrible. And he reserved a special "horrible" for anybody who was a mother. He hated my relationship with my children, even with his own son, even Joe. He always pretended that he wasn't Joe's father at all. "No, your daddy's the milkman," or "Your daddy's the cactus in the corner" - whatever. Unsurprisingly, my mother and he weren't able to get on, so I couldn't see my mother at that time of my life, either.
It became too difficult for me, because I was very loyal to Malcolm. I believed in him, absolutely, as an artist. And that he needed me. So I wouldn't see my mother.
Meanwhile, she looked after Ben after school such a lot. She probably loved Ben more than she'd loved me and [Westwood's siblings] Olga and Gordon when we were little, because she felt he was really neglected and that he needed her. But it was this huge, frightening love for her, almost. She used to say that the room lit up for her when Ben came in. And when I had Joe, she said, "I'll never love Joe as much as Ben. I can't let myself ... I'll never ever invest so much affection in anybody as I have done for Ben."
My position was simple. I loved Malcolm. I believed in him. My children would benefit in the long run, and still, sometimes, he would organise creative things for the boys to do.
I so valued what I could learn from Malcolm.
I know people will think I was a doormat. But I needed him for what he knew, and he needed me because someone had to need him - and I could talk to him and I could develop by talking to him. So I stayed with him.
