LFW : VIVIENNE WESTWOOD RED LABEL

I shall have to be very honest, I j'adore a bit of Viv, but when I went to her SS10 collection back in September I left extremely disappointed. Her previous collection was rather dull, dated and to be honest it's something I had seen before so nothing took me aback.

However, this season was entirely different. Westwood totally raised her game, in my opinion, with lots of vibrant colours, fits and shapes with a touch of frills and cute dresses to give the collection that feminine touch. I was glad to see that this season Westwood toned down the whole "celeb catwalking" tradition as I feel it's something that's not necessary. Last season was overdone with Lisa from Big Brother appearing on the catwalk and also Pixie Geldof. But I was still a tad dissapointed when I saw a picture of Pixie on the runway.

I have very strong opinions of Pixie and firmly believe that the entire Geldof family are the vermin of society and will one day ruin our entire fashion scene. Pixie is not a socialite, she is not a cool fashion kid, and she is certainly not a catwalk model. So why the fuck use her? Urgh.

Anyways, overall for me the whole collection seemed to be amazing. I've always had faith in Viv and she's proved to me why she is the greatest British fashion designer of all time. Purely because she is so unique. I just totally love the way she uses trends and mixes them in her own individual style.

A job well done Viv!

Vivienne Westwood Red Label


There I was, sat along side I Want You To Know at Vivienne Westood's Red Label S/S10 show during LFW in September. I was ready to go with excitement pumping through my body, I just wanted the show to start. As much as I loved Viv's show as a whole, one thing kept bugging me whilst I sat through watching it- The constant celebrities being slapped in my face.

Don't get me wrong, I j'adore celeb culture and I feel like it is now a huge part in everyone's lives. Celeb's sell just like sex sells, but one main culprit in this show that had me scratching my head was Lisa from Big Brother 10. I don't understand her presence and to a certain extent made the whole show look and feel tacky.



The whole night in general felt like a Z list celebrity cocktail; It was just wrong. Famous faces from Marvin Humes right through to Boy George sat front row and even to this day I still have no clue why? I would love to know some of your views on this?
