London Event: Vivianne Westwood Retrospective
Selfridges London opened a retrospective of Vivienne Westwood footwear on August 26th. Vivienne Westwood Shoes, An Exhibition 1973 – 2010 runs through September 22nd in the Ultralounge, on the lower ground floor.
Does the phrase “Hilarious Drag Queen Crime Caper” come to mind for anyone else? I think there’s a movie to be made in here somewhere. (Insert gratuitous “Ocean’s Size 11″ joke here).
For those of us without the ready cash for a flight to the UK, there is a lovely coffee table book on the subject:Vivienne Westwood: Shoes
Haute Macabre Approved: Agyness Deyn
Even though I put in several hours a week scouring magazines and fashion blogs, I really don’t care about models. I can’t even tell them apart. For the most part, other than a few truly legendary ladies that any old Joe off the street could identify from a mile away, I don’t even know their names. I simply don’t care. This isn’t to say anything bad about them- being human coat hangers is their job. If they’re doing it right, it’s the clothes that shine and not the model. But this new cover for Love reminded me that every once in a while a model has so much personality she just can’t put a damper on in. So, model or not, I have to admit it. I have a huge giant girl crush on Agynesss Deyn.
