2 weeks after Vivienne Westwood’s Manifesto, I am sitting on the front row of a catwalk that is purely Anglomania. From layers, tribal inspired prints with a reference to Gaia, Mother of Earth, I could feel, see, shoot the celebration of Identity. Black, blue stripes on white as a new re-interpretation of ” la marinière”, stamped mini cotton dresses for clothes to be worn as a second skin are declined in various combinations and colours. The key elements of the show: fluid fabrics underneath structured jackets, scarves tied as hairbands, light blue or pink wedges and black lips. A melting pot of symbols on one look.
Today’s Western culture is a mix and who better than Vivienne Westwood can understand and interpret that when she is the first if not the only one I have heard so far claiming a return to Culture.
On my way out, I bumped into Julia Restoin-Roitfeld…definitely a show not to be missed!
