Walk In Line Or Drive Off Road With Vivienne Westwood Ss’16
Going vertical or heading for the horizontal line? Which direction to select up next? The patterns in which we head forward; mark our future history. For spring 2016 Vivienne Westwood, Londons most influential fashion designer and established activist, raises the question: “what is a good life?” and further implies: “A good life is one which mirrors the world.” Diverse as life itself; her latest line is a shot that went on a walk and took a steady break in course. The models, made up with deep dark smudged smokey eyes â enhancing their tunnel vision â were sent walking monotonously straight forward; while vocally bombarded with cluttered social media catchphrases â seemingly aloof of the fact, they are wrapped in visual variety. Costume blazers and shirts; overlap figuratively indecisive, to asymmetrical double closures. Ever changing prints and textures, are hypnotically blending into one another. Vibrant knitwear patterns are â curbed by tight vests out of plastic straps â silently pledging for the individuals awareness; not to be distracted by fractioned details, but to holistically grasp the world’s complexity, in order to deduce a vast variety of action plans. Westwood’s collections are renowned for deconstructive couture par excellence, as well as for being about more than garments that covert the body. They’re conveying textiles â which draw attention to the current.
