Vivienne Westwood used London Fashion Week as a platform to not sell her clothing… That’s right, after showing her Red Label Autum /Winter 2010 collection the ‘former-punk’ reportedly pleaded for people to, “Stop all this consumerism” at one of the most prestigious (and blatant) events for getting fashion in front of buyers!
Let’s honour Westwood’s pleas by either emailing her sales rep Kristina Golightly (sales information provided by London Fashion Week) or to place an order for nothing or cancelling an order on her online store mid-transaction.
The layers of irony in this kill me!
Note: ‘Former punk’ is not to be confused with post-punk :p
