LFW; Vivienne Westwood, otherwise known as a nice show.

I don't know. Maybe i was waiting for a hot pink kilt over ripped tights, doc martens and a tiara. Maybe i was just disappointed by Henry Holland, who didn't go as crazy as I wanted. Or maybe its the antibiotics talking. I was underwhelmed by Vivienne Westwood. I know the Red Label is a more classic aesthetic, and certainly the clothes were nice. 

Nice, that is such a terrible word... Nice is just so boring. I don't mean the show was boring, how could it be? it's vivienne after all, and there were all her usual touches; the african style beaded belts, the body-consciousness in the sculpted dresses that gave them an extra kick, quite chic in some places (like sheath dresses or high waisted pants) and then cheap and odd in other places (very tacky looking metallics), the styling of some odd jackets with a normal dress, not ground-breaking I know, but still nice to see.

God, there's that word again. Can't i think of anything else to describe this show? I was just under-whelmed, i think. I wanted more. Her other Red label shows have included some very wonderful dresses, like a sculpted red number in shiered velvet, something that Burberry Prorsum then imitated shamelessly the next year in hot fuschia and aqua. But this year it was all a bit bland. A bland palette with nice clothes that of course would fit into anyone's wardrobe perfectly. but then, is that what we want from Viv? I don't know, i don't think so. 

Oh, and Alexa Chung modelled for the label, her first time on catwalk, and it shows. The make up was too severe for her, and god i love her (as is obvious from the girl-crush on this blog) but she was just awkward on the catwalk, understandably. Just give her time and she'll loosen up. I would love to see her catwalk more, her body is perfect perfect perfect for it!

Wow. I have no title.

This picture came up when i was doing my rounds on the daily mail website. 


Aside from the mundane, like wow Kate Moss looks good when she smiles, i like her sort crop and her cute mini dress, looks like she's having a return to form sartorial-wise, WTF is vivienne wearing, but then, that's why we love her right? she can wear a truckie cap and a garbage bag as a dress and we all think she's a goddess. Which she is, i'm just saying... there are some fashion lines that should not be crossed. Chanel did it with the cabas bag last year, and now is Viv... 

The real point of this post is to say; DAMN! LOOK AT HER LEGS! she's 63 for crying out loud... Look at them! And i'm not being rude or anything, but her face has aged, but her legs haven't. I know she's probably wearing tights or something, but tights can't hide wrinkles.. Wow, is this what Madonna is trying to achieve? I sort of prefer Viv's look better, not to draw attention to her legs by wearing freakin' leotards whenever you step out of the house but rather wear a cool dress slit up the leg and hope the flashbulbs go off. Which, of course, they inevitably will. She is wearing a garbage bag after all. Nice one Viv, you've definitely worked for those legs, you deserve some praise.
