Vivienne Westwood: Stop Buying Clothes

Vivienne Westwood showed her Red Label collection at London Fashion Week, and then told the press that she would like people to stop buying clothes and end consumerism.

Besides showing her own designs, Westwood featured models in Naomi Campbell's t-shirts to raise awareness and money for women in Haiti. She often uses the runway to convey messages. In the past she has tried to raise global warming awareness.

Westwood stayed true to herself and showed unexpected color and pattern combinations. For example, pink and mustard and tartan and polka dots were seen on the runway. This is a fun and exciting trend that anyone can experiment with.

There was a more conservative pink tartan draped dress that is so perfect for the season. Also, metallics were shown, just as many designers did in New York.
