The Milan Uomo SS16 Vivienne Westwood collection was, as per usual, politically motivated. The theme “Politicans R Criminals” and implicated politicians in conjunction with banks and monopolies as causing climate change and taking away human rights.

We at BDMOTP find Ms. Westwood to be an inspirational female (see previous post “A Conversation with Vivienne Westwood” and love the fact that she uses her creative talents to fight against corruption and climate change.

Now that we’ve covered the politics, let’s get to the fashion. The SS16 collection has Westwood’s signature sass, with layers and ragged edges adding a little funk to suits and casual sportswear.

Bold colors and prints welcomed in a vibrant spring. Westwood mixed prints, striped, plaids, boxes and florals for an all around trendy vibe. A few of the looks featured a kind of desert storm print, reminiscent of cargo but more modern. Baggy pants and mandals (man sandals) also appeared on the runway.

RJ Mitte, actor featured in cult class Breaking Bad closed out the show, which was a very hip touch.
