Vintage chic designs with a punk twist dominate Vivienne Westwood's Red Label collection from London Fashion Week. See display of statement garments, after the jump!
The Vivienne Westwood Red Label fall 2013 collectio
unveiled at London Fashion Week this past weekend gave fashion
enthusiasts a chance to take a peek at her ability to infuse punk
elements into vintage classics. However, the grandma of punk seems
to have decided to take a softer approach to fashion with her new
Red Label lineup as the garments revealed a toned down level of
punk chicness and a much visible vintage approach to style. Now, we
might have said toned down but that doesn't mean the designer
overlooked her trademark style, on the contrary, it still packs a
punch yet looks a tad different and different this season is
good!
Numerous styles emerged as must haves at London Fashion Week, vintage styles
being one of them. Vivienne Westwood's Red Label fall 2013
collection couldn't have missed on the opportunity to take
vintage classics to a whole new level and give them a twists that
seems to go right at the heart of the new generation of fashion
enthusiasts.
"At one point I was quite contemptuous of punks left over from the
movement. I thought punk folded because of a lack of ideas, and I
wanted to carry on learning. It wasn't enough to go jumping around
and spitting. And then, earlier this year, I was talking to some of
the young male models at the men's show, and they had that punk
mentality: Don't trust governments ever. I think that is punk. And
they were interested in what they wore; it really means something.
It's nice to know that mentality still exists in a new generation.
I am now really proud of it", said Vivienne Westwood in an
interview with style.com about the movement she helped build over
the years and it seems that this is one of the energy-source that
helps feed the designer's creativity!
The Vivienne Westwood Red Label fall 2013 collection
opened a cool display of 60s and 70s coats paired with colorful
striped over the knee socks, classic cut trousers, draping skirts,
baggy trousers and circle skirts that looked oh-so-chic. Midi
dresses displayed in bright and achromatic tones and an interesting
reinterpretation of the suit seemed to cover the business-chic
niche, however these designs weren't made for just any lady but the
fierce and confident honeys that are not afraid to take a risque
with their fashion choices.
An A-line full-circle dresses paired with visible tulle lining,
asymmetric cut dresses, cardigans paired with midis, chambray coats
paired with lace cropped leggings and holographic metallic-finish
outfits emphasized the designer's fearless style, so be sure to
check our Vivienne Westwood's Red Label fall 2013 collection and
pick your fave garments as it might be long until you see a
collection that feels so safe from the statement-styles loving
