After seeing Vivienne Westwood’s incredible Spring/Summer 2014 line last June, we were super excited to see it again this season. The show was packed full of people ready to check out her new Fall/Winter 2014-15 collection.
Ms. Westwood is known for her environmental concerns, and instead of a PR handout at the show, we simply got a paper saying “Fracking is the Big Fight. We must challenge the irresponsible behavior of our goverments who are trying to force fracking upon us”. For those of you who don’t know, fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside, and is controversial because of negative impact it has on the environment.
Obviously, the Vivienne Westwood collection reflects her viewpoints on protecting the planet and I suppose part of her inspiration comes from this. In any case, the collection was beautiful, consisting of some casual wear and then more sophisticated looks like suits and overcoats.
BDMOTP favorite: anything oxblood color, especially the suit and coat
