Vivienne Westwood in London Fashion Week
Vivienne Westwood’s comeback show in London Fashion Week was a breath of fresh air among the monotonous shows. The Queen of punk, not only brought life back to the ramp in the London Fashion Week, but also gave a message with her show. The show started with a female model carrying a placard protesting for the right of the prisoners at the Guantanamo bay, and a male model wearing underpants of orange colour, the colour of the clothes of prisoners at Guantanamo bay.
The veteran designer, who was making a comeback in the London Fashion Week after ten years gap following popular demand, presented her Red Label collection inspired by 1970’s. It comprises of Westwood’s favourite kilts and bodices draped corsetry. Jaime, daughter of actor Ray Winston and socialite Alice Dellal walked the ramp for Vivienne Westwood. Dellal even shaved her half head, to pay tribute to the queen of Punk. Westwood herself was wearing a blouse covered with protest badges and black trousers. Celebrities like Jodie and Jemma Kidd, Kelly Osbourne, Kimberley Stewart, Lily Allen and Jefferson Hack attended the Red Label show by Vivienne Westwood. Apart from the Guantanamo bay controversy, Westwood’s show was fabulous, and different from other designers as expected. The London Fashion Week was officially launched by the Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s wife Sarah Brown, on Sunday. House of Holland, Paul Smith and Gareth Pugh were some other labels who presented their collection during the London Fashion Week. The show concluded on Friday.
