Vivienne Westwood

Before 1,500 fans, the biggest fashion audience of the London season, Westwood served up a fluid, femininely saucily series of clothes, far removed with the dominant trends in London, prehistoricism and revamped Eighties futurism.

And flaunt it they did in this show, which featured one model in a gold pants striding bare-chested down the massive anthracite colored catwalk in Earl’s Court.

What was coolest about this collection is that where Westwood’s clothes can drift into over-ripe historicism, this was a collection that seemed fresh, contemporary and very easy to wear.
