VIVIENNE WESTWOOD FALL/WINTER 2012 MILAN FASHION WEEK


I was waiting for a coffee order this morning when a show came on FTV. Men with icicles hanging from their beards or wearing a three piece suit with opposing tartan prints from one leg to the other. It had to be Vivienne Westwood and I was right. I am thoroughly enjoying the jackets this season, especially the green tartan check (top left) but on its immediate right a more 70s cut beauty worn with mustard yellow shoes. Fantastic. Sometimes the off-centre designer can go overboard but I loved many of these pieces (more so individually). If the world really is going to end Aunty Viv' is just making sure we go down looking good.
