Writer/Art director Matthew Miles and Artist/Photographer Konrad Wyrebek met the inimitable Vivienne at an East End gallery earlier in the week and then shot some new pictures in Mayfair.
Passionate as ever, she had a dig at A-list artists who repetitively cash-in on the style that made them famous - and we stuck with the recycling theme to get an update on her Active Resistance manifesto. Vivienne is all set on shaking up lethargy over climate change in a way that isn’t just fashion forward, but unites diverse creative forms. An example of that is the upcoming theatre production Active Resistance to Propaganda at London’s Bloomsbury Ballroom on Friday 4 December. But while the international eco warrior is bravely encouraging us to be less consumerist (why buy when you can reinvent?) it's not like she's taken her eye off the cutting room. In one of her own fresh designs - a billowing sari-meets-wrap dress - she looked as fierce as the rebel queen Boadicea.
Below a model presenting a creation by designer Vivienne Westwood as part of her Spring/Summer 2010 collection during Paris Fashion Week on October 2, 2009.
We love Vivienne Westwood, I mean who else can make a $5,084 dog coat packed with white diamonds and small sapphires!? So decadent ...
Have you seen the 2010 summer collection presented during Milan fashion week!?
