One of the reasons BDMOTP loves Vivienne Westwood and always will is because she always has an agenda. And not just any agenda, a save-the-world kind of agenda. Someone’s gotta do it, and we adore Ms. Westwood and her strong beliefs. In fact, a few seasons ago Alton Barber, CEO of BDMOTP was able to chat with her and besides being a lovely human being, she really tries to inspire her designs and fashion from the agenda she is fighting at the moment. She also uses her fashion platform to express these ideas, and this season her vibe is all about saving the ocean and the rainforest. BDMOTP is totally on board.

The AW16 collection entitled Be Specific actually featured quite a bit of neutral colors, such as navy and beige. Of course, signature Westwood pops of orange, pink and print can always be found. In fact, some jungle prints reinforce her “Save the Rainforest” slogan.

We always cave for a good Westwood suit. This season, we fell in love with the navy and black skinny suits as well as a baggy brown version. The hot pink suit was lots of fun, perfect for a gentleman hoping to get noticed. Heavy scarves, hoods and long, baggy coats topped and accessorized the suits and otherwise.

Bravo, Ms. Westwood. Another inspiring collection.
