Vivienne Westwood goes derelicte
January 29th 2010 02:10
Menswear is not my forte, however I just couldn't resist posting some pics from Vivienne Westwood's Fall 2010 Men's Collection, which was presented at Milan Fashion Week earlier this month. Inspired by society's down-and-outs, Westwood lined the catwalk with cardboard boxes and sent her faux-filthy models out wearing a variety of ensembles that included (but were not limited to) ill-fitting shiny jackets, jeans tucked into football socks, torn leggings, kilts, poorly tailored suits and random bits of fur.
Now I love how Vivienne Westwood will go there ('there' being the oddest place you can imagine) but really, it's tough not to laugh when looking at these guys! While I do like what's being represented here - a reminder to the upper echelons that these are tough times for many - I'm not sure if "paying homage to the homeless" in one's designs is the right way to go about it. Or is it?
One thing that I do like about this show, however, is the diversity of the models used. Different sizes, ethnicities, and ages are all represented here: definitely refreshing to see in a major European show! As for the clothes, well..... I'll let you decide. Click here to view the entire collection.
Derelicte.... Zoolander style

All asymmetrical, all mismatched
Taking hobo chic to new extremes
Which is worse, the jacket or the hair?

Having trouble keeping a straight face? You're not the only one.
