In the adjoining tent right afterwards was eccentric British designer Vivienne Westwood and
there appeared to be standing room available. This Red Label collection presented for the
second time in New York for Vivienne; is thought of as a means for developing her wacky ideas for
a wider market.
Actress Milla Jovovich sat front row as this energetic collection was strutted down the runway
by models with attitude and vintage rock n roll. Vivienne's signature bustiers came out with capri
pants accessorized by huge headscarves tying up the hair.
A strapless bustier dress was worn with a man’s tie. Gingham accents on high-waisted nipped in
strapless dresses and the shock of pairing colors like cobalt blue with navy and mauve worked
great. Outfits reminiscent of fishing gear with yellow slickers, rubber looking waders and rain
hats were fun. Brightly colored broad pin stripe orange and mauve silk was the theme for the tight
skirt and capri pantsuits. The tops and bottoms were contrasted using the same print. Orange and
turquoise tunic dresses over leggings didn’t cut it for me but my best piece of the show was a 50’s
pale lilac short prom-style dress worn over spandex black cycling shorts.
As a Brit, I’ve never worn her togs but they are always inventive and always amusing. Long live
the Queen, I say!
