If I had a fashion fairy godmother she would most likely end up being somewhat like Vivienne Westwood– you know, a little nuts in that well-meaning crazy cat lady kind of way. And this season at the Paris shows Ms. Westwood, whom I adore btw, doesn’t disappoint. Using a melage of fabrics, patterns and “personas” Westwood created a collection that most strongly a cast of fairytale characters that (thankfully) doesn’t resemble the ones usually found in foppish 18th century couture shows. Instead, sexy, strong women are cast as wicked witches– shiny, sheer, black, and unabashedly beautiful; lost seekers in the woods with their sheer, soft hoods, and what else screams post-nationalist chaos like ladies wrapped in cloth and an ultra-femme spin on the statue of liberty. Bravo, Westwood. — Amy Ko, Senior Editor
