Vivienne Westwood: Standing up for Earth

September20

So it’s London fashion week this week, and prominent designer Vivienne Westwood used her runway presentation as a platform to express her views on “humanity’s current path of destruction”.

Climate change was an overwhelming theme in the designer’s runway line, featuring garments sporting slogans about climate change in floral print and earthy colours.

Westwood even went as far to portray animals caught in car headlights by styling models and having makeup to look like corpses. Perhaps Westwood shares Jaques Ellul’s view that technology is corrupting humankind and we are losing sight of what is most important and what is not really needed?

Here is a great report on the story, plus a few images and a video of supermodel Lily Cole opening the runway show.
