I love Viv. She’s super cool. I’ve always said if me and her ever properly met we would totally be BFFs. So when I ended up sitting second row at the Vivienne Westwood Red Label fashion show last night, it felt slightly like a dream - like I was riding on a magical dream carpet snuggled in-between Kanye West and Erin O’Connor (who, seriously, I think is stalking me. I see her everywhere).
The Red Label is a more relaxed side of Viv. The theme of the night was definitely rebellious schoolgirl with lots of slim-cut trouser suits, knee-high socks, figure-hugging dresses and (of course) tartan. There was also a pirate hat thrown in there somewhere. So basically all your Westwood faves rolled into one. She might be re-treading familiar ground, but whatevs. She’s Vivienne fucking Westwood. She can do what she wants, innit?
In typical Viv fashion, she used a lot of non-model models. I mean, I can see where she’s coming from with this, but if I’m honest, I’m not down with that. I mean, there’s a reason why models are tall and thin - because clothes look good on them (even if you’d rather die than fuck their emaciated, Sugar-free Red Bull chugging carcasses). So when you put a bunch of cool kids and old mates on the runway to model your designs, it just makes the clothes look a bit crap and the “models” look like midgets. I mean, I love Alice and Daisy, but seriously, Daisy walked like she still had Mark Ronson’s cock up her ass.
But other than that, my love for the orange-haired old lady continues to grow.

I’m going to use a phrase that my dad says quite a lot, and describe Daisy Lowe as ‘dog shit… she’s bloody everywhere!’.

seriously. andy capper and anyone else who at one time had a brain - i have a question (if youre still the editor. when did vice become a totally lame, boring, dumb ass excuse for a magazine?
FASHION? everyone knows you morons never knew anything about fashion and all of a sudden you’re attending all the shows and saying how ‘karly loves viv’
who gives a fuck? if people want to read about fashion they will go to people who know what they’re talking about. your writers clearly have no clue what to say when they’re out of their comfort zone of sue ryder and american apparel.
who thought this new fashion section was a good idea? i don’t know why vice has to be so greedy and try to do everything? why can’t you just stick to the stuff youre good at.
anyway, i’ve said my piece.
either hire some people who actually knows about fashion, have a sense of humour and can write or just sell your company to some huge repulsive corporation already…
you bunch of dull, bloated, coke snorting sell outs.
