Vivienne Westwood Fall-Winter 2019

Rebel, passionate, outside the box. Vivienne Westwood represents the triptych but also much more. Her aesthetic history adds, even today, words like inclusion, craftsmanship, ethics. Especially on environmental issues – not surprisingly, just a month ago the designer won the Swarovski Award for Positive Change. And a positive change was seen in London, on Sunday 17 February, on the catwalk in which she presented the autumn-winter 2019 collection.

Models of all sizes and ages, each with their own experience, happy or traumatic that it was – in fact, among others, on the catwalk was also present the actress and activist Rose McGowan – they have not only dressed in clothes, but also a message, that is, what fashion is used to reflect, through its vocabulary, personalized by each fashion designer. In Westwood’s case, the goal is to make us think concretely of the fact that we are human – despite the point that cyberspace continues to involve us more and more, getting rid of reality – and we need to understand how to protect planet Earth to move forward. But how? Intellectuals will save the world. The platonic idea of the brand really wants these figures to avoid catastrophe, condensed in many places, many of which are ignored by the masses.

«The hypothesis is that there will remain 1 billion people by the end of this century; scientists know it will happen, but they do not know exactly when. Consumption is an enemy of culture. Everyone knows that rot $ is the mechanism that favors those already rich by taxing those who are already poor. Democracy flourishes only when we achieve a homogeneous distribution of wealth. The answer is 1: world rent. rot $ is the cause of the death of the world. rot $ will self-destruct + the world will self-destruct with it.» These are just some of the points inserted in the ideal manifesto, made tangible by the Westwood-style garments, emphasized by a styling obtained from the works of art belonging to the Vivienne Westwood Foundation.
