Dame Vivienne Westwood paid homage to David Attenborough's latest series 'Frozen Planet'. Her 'Cause Célèbre' is Global Warming, specifically the disappearance of the polar ice caps - a serious matter which translated into a particularly saleable collection for the designer.
North Pole-ready fur collar coats, quilted bombers, corduroy suiting and patchwork long johns were cosy staples for F/W 12. Other key items included oversize intarsia-knit cardigans, draped blanket coats and plaid suiting, which was rather conservative for Dame Vivienne (aside from the frozen-effect facial hair).

ReplyDeleteThis Rugged and Manly look in checked fabrics is really extravagant, but a young man in black Beanie, star decorated Sweeter, Jeans and bright blue Shoes looks, very much, like Mr Right!!! Can I have his number?!
