Vivienne Westwood October 2, 2009

A piece of paper displaying bumper-sticker-style eco-slogans greeted guests on their seats at Vivienne Westwood. The same messages ("Act fast, slow down, stop climate change") appeared on the clothes, sometimes pinned to the models' chests as if they were competitors in a running race. This is nothing new for a Westwood show; Dame Viv has been spreading her anti-consumerism and pro-green beliefs via the runway for years. The collection trod mostly familiar ground as well. There were the clingy intarsia knits, the wrapped and draped dresses with odd volumes, the bustiers with the deflated bra cups. The unfinished edges and hems on almost everything reminded you that Westwood did them, if not first, then decades before this season's manifestations. What did stand out, if you looked hard enough, were a few tailored pieces of the sort you might actually see hanging in a department store: not conservative by any stretch of the imagination, but not the kind of thing that's going to get you crazy looks when you walk down the street, either. Westwood, we're told, has a thriving business in clothes like these, but you wouldn't necessarily know it from her runway show.

Vivienne Westwood After appearing with Dame Viv and her husband, Andreas Kronthaler, in the Vivienne Westwood Spring advertising campaign, Pamela Anderson walked the runway at today's Fall show. Her first time out, Pammy's arms were bound behind her back. She's not exactly your typical fashion muse, and her getup wasn't exactly the kind of thing you expect to see on the catwalk—but remember who we're talking about here. Westwood also saw fit to send out three-meter lengths of raw-cut fabric tossed about the shoulders and call them cloaks; then there were the dresses with crinolines permanently kicked up, the hems inching past the models' ears as if they had found themselves in the middle of a hurricane.

Speaking of inclement weather, Westwood dubbed her collection "+5°," as in the five degrees the earth's average temperatures are calculated to rise as CO2 levels skyrocket. The symbol appeared on T-shirts, and the message gave her a good excuse to extend the do-it-yourself/consume-less idea she put forth last season, this time via borrowed-from-your man's-closet big jackets. Amid Anderson's shenanigans and the political propaganda there were one or two moments that recalled Westwood's iconoclastic heyday: a Lurex-shot Edwardian jacket worn with baggy camo-print cargos for one, and a black dévoré velvet, one-shoulder, asymmetrically wrapped dress for another. But it would've required a few more for this collection to be taken seriously.

Vivienne Westwood Bustles, exposed undergirdings, swaddled fabrics—the Vivienne Westwood touchstones have been coming fast and furious from all quarters lately. You could even make the argument that the geometric flaps that have appeared everywhere from Calvin Klein to Dolce & Gabbana were pioneered by Dame Viv. So she's finally seizing the moment to explore the more commercial side of her own oeuvre, right? Not a chance.

This is a designer who wears a headband with the anti-consumerist message "branded" scrolled across it, the one who sends out a new muckraking slogan T-shirt each season. This time it read: "We need an estimated $30 billion per year to save the rain forest." That message inspired the show's "Do It Yourself" conservation theme. Call it bedsheet couture: Everything from Westwood's familiar asymmetrically wrapped-and-bustled dresses to the capes flung across one shoulder came in frayed fabrics that looked like they could in previous lives have been tablecloths, drapes, or shower curtains.

Ghetto-fabulous dhoti pants exposed the crotches of models' boxer shorts. Girls wore headscarves as knickers. And there's not much of a retail future in a clear plastic jacket and ball skirt (embroidered in a more traditionally ball skirt-ish striped fabric)—although it undeniably had a certain undone charm. In its very madness, it was classic Westwood.

Vivienne Westwood LONDON, February 14, 2008 – Dame Viv is back in London! Showing a collection that glories in the girls who turned King's Road into an endless fashion show from one end of the seventies to the other. Glam poseurs, sexy secretaries, and perverse punks—all present and correct!

Actually, for accuracy's sake, the above needs a little qualification. Vivienne Westwood has never stopped living in London, though she's shown her main line in Paris for almost a decade and has no plans to change that. The collection she showed today was her second line, Red Label, and it was here by popular demand from retailers. "I never really wanted to show a second line [on the runway] because it's such a lot of work," she said. "But it's good because it means I don’t have to let go all of the ideas I have so quickly. There’s an awful lot of energy in London now, and I found it much easier to show than it used to be. There's help; sponsorship; fantastic hair, makeup, production people; and really top girls."

If Britain's national fashion treasure had any lingering reservations that showing her commercial line might tarnish her reputation, the effect ended up just the opposite. Fifteen years ago no one would have predicted such an incendiary nutcase would ever survive in business, let alone live to swish a wearable collection of in-demand Westwood-isms in the face of her gainsayers. But that was what it was: a lineup of pinstripe tailoring, tartan kilts, knits, and coats with rounded lapels stamped with the baggy-hemmed, asymmetric hallmarks of the Westwood classic. The fact that it's all at an accessible price—even the gorgeous versions of her draped-bosom evening dresses—is, for a democrat like Viv, perhaps the biggest triumph. No wonder it looked like a victory parade when she came out at the end of the show arm in arm with one of London's It girls of the moment, Lily Donaldson.

Vivienne Westwood PARIS, February 25, 2008 – Dame Vivienne has always covered her clothes with doodles. This season, she went straight to the source, enlisting 7- and 8-year-old students from the Portland School in Nottingham, England, to hand-paint most of the pieces in her new collection. But it wasn't exactly child's play. After briefing them on the global-warming crisis, she asked them to imagine a society of jungle-dwelling eco-warriors. The clothes that resulted are the warriors' uniform.

There were capes and ponchos in tartans spliced to resemble camouflage, fake-fur hoodies and pants, and real shearling jackets adorned with primary-colored butterflies, flowers, and snakes. Ribbed-knit cardigans wrapped haphazardly around the torso, skirts had paper-bag waists, and pants drooped to the knees. For those moments when the freedom fighters ventured into the city, Westwood offered unembellished taffeta evening suits and dresses with portrait necklines.

It's hard to see the real-life urban-jungle application of many of the more decorated pieces, but the agitprop was actually less heavy-handed than it has been in the past. Chalk it up to the Portland schoolkids in the front row, or maybe the stilt walkers (one wore a pinstriped pantsuit with slung-back shoulders, the other a lush green ball gown aswirl with paint): As serious as Westwood's message remains, this was still a feel-good show.
