Vivienne Westwood Gold Label S/S 12 (2/2)

1

Historical dresses mixed with ethnic clothes and new shapes are the core of the collection.

2

Oversize historical corsets create a feeling of armor, worn as a jacket they would look tough – like a soldier or biker.

What a fascinating and creative idea to oversize a corset, that is actually intended to minimize the body. Vivienne Westwood inverts the idea and therby creates a new function - it is this kind of out-of-the-box-thinking that makes her the genious that she is.

How do you like this part of the collection?

  2. The last two offerings look like bridal gowns for the undead. Probably a smart move, I hear zombie weddings are actually a thing now.
