Vivienne Westwood’s ready to wear show ended in Milan about 2 hours ago and what a show it was!
It was a typically voluminous collection, where proportions and details were hugely exaggerated, from very wide leg playsuits with giant polka dots to wedding dresses (Ivory and Grey) of lace with an XXL all over rose design. Fabulous! Ms Westwood’s Ready-to-wear collections can be difficult to pull off but there are some separates that are easy to wear such as the strategically draped sapphire blue shirt dress, grey utility style shorts suit or the black hooded draped jacket (my favourite).
As expected, there was plenty of drama for those who like that – and as a huge fan and owner of Ms Westwood’s pieces I do – these came in the form of heavily structured and embroidered corsets and corset dresses. These pieces were theatrical, structured and of course asymmetric. Dresses were shown in many textures including knit, brocade, metallic silks, and detailed with bondage strapping across the back and restricted waistlines.
I’m looking forward to seeing it ‘live’ in store.
Sorry, no individual show Pictures, as the show is too recent! So here's a lovely picture of the lovely lady herself.
