Last night’s Vivienne Westwood Red Label show was held in National Hall, a giant sports like venue complete with stadium seating.
Lily Cole sat front row while the likes of Daisy Lowe and Alice Dellal insisted on clomping their way down the concrete runway. Jourdan Dunn opened, for the second season in a row, and Jo Wood, ex-wife of Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood, closed.
The collection was inspired by school girls and their naughty head mistresses which meant loads of plaid and cleavage-inducing corsets worn with massive over-the-,knee boots made of chintz in golds and pinks, see Tanya D at left.
The clothes were classic, casual Vivienne with some pirate hats and bondage shoes thrown in for good measure. We’ll wait for Paris’ Gold Label show to really rave.

THEETRENDSETTER had the real deal back in 1968. I was going to a private co-ed school in Haverford Pa. The girls wore these short green plaid skirts with white blouses with ruffles. I had goldenish curley hair back then and with the Alcapulco Gold Bud we all partied in the Headmasters office after hours and did IT in the office on his desk for youthful laughs. We laughed so much back then. They were the best days of my life. Most of the girls got married and divorced. They ended up living at the family estate and are there living off their inheritance to date(2/09) A lot of party girls end up at home and in therapy by mid 40. They have it made though through their family wealth. The straight non-party girls didn't fare much better because some a hole guy sweet talked them into a controlling relationship. They had the Fairy Tale Prince syndrom like I have the Peter Pan Syndrome. The loose look is good for the guys but the girl is not ever respected though men flock around her like a dog in heat. That is why this style goes down the runway year after year. It's to give the men a hard on. right? They(slutty dressing types) are the single used girls like you know who. They marry, the guy gets bored after banging the same bitc! for a few months and then he starts looking for another piece of a. Been there done it. and life goes on. REMEMBER FASHION IS ABOUT TRADITIONAL FAMILY MORALS AND VALUES
