Campaigning for Climate

Vivienne Westwood has been known to use her Red Label to help promote current issues and this ss14 was no different. Using Hans Christian Andersen's ‘The Red Shoes’ as a metaphor Westwood decorated her models with similar face paints depicting natural scenes, described by Westwood "like an animal trapped in the headlights, trying to flee”. The connection between the story and make-up helped highlight the issue of climate change, showing how we will become trapped in this world if we continue to treat and misuse it like we do. Of course as well as using her platform for good Westwood maintained her classic punk dishevelled chic signature, showcasing another brilliant spring summer collection. Her classic draping mixed in with current silhouettes, and masculine highlights make the collection easily wearable and desirable to wear! This season she has focused mainly on darker pastels mixed with dark accents and a stunningly busy floral pattern, and of course a flash of her trademark tartan, another success for the 72-year-old icon.
