At Vivienne Westwood, you know you will always be treated to quite a show. For Spring Summer 2012, the Grand Dame looked to the past with beautiful brocade corsets fine- tuned for use in the present.
So dramatic against the grand chandelier at the Opera ballroom at the Hotel Le Grand Intercontinental
Embroidered period platforms
Westwood's signature-- the modern day equivalent of a bustle skirt, perfectly gathered, folded, and tucked.
This webbed knit dress opened the show
And here came the bride and her bridesmaids
Beautiful fabrics, excellent construction
Two pieces from the collection I would really like to have: the pink corset embroidered in silver thread, and the bustle skirt. I don't lust after the shoes though, but I think it was fun seeing them on the runway paired with argyle socks and those other mismatched colorful ones. :)
