Vivienne Westwood

Oh hey, Georgia May. The British beauty has been named the face of Vivienne Westwood's new Gainsborough palladium jewelry collection.

The diamond and sapphire baubles were inspired by the Paper Jewelry line Westwood introduced in her Fall 2000 Gold Label collection. A tiara, necklaces, earrings, ring, and bracelet comprise the collection, which is now available at Westwood's UK stores and on her website.

Jagger and Westwood celebrated the Juergen Teller-lensed ad campaign with a party during Paris Fashion Week. A look at the ad, the jewelry, and the party here in the gallery.

Everything about Vivienne Westwood's Spring 2013 collection — from its setting at the British ambassador's residence to the crowns some of the models wore down the runway — brought a celebration of English greatness to Paris Fashion Week.

Westwood called this show Climate Revolution, though it wasn't as heavy on sending a political message as her Red Label show was during London Fashion Week. Instead, this offering took Westwood's signature tricks (draping, ruching, corsetry, and the like) and refreshed them with lighter fabrics and whimsical decorative treatments. A rose taffeta gown featured a side cutout, a bow tied at the waist, and a few sparkly brooches for good measure; later in the show, a strapless, patterned bodysuit acted as the vehicle for three oversize butterfly appliqués.

For all that glittering refinement, there was lots of punk attitude in this show. Some looks were paired with sheer leggings and boots or sneakers, and all the models had heart shapes painted onto their faces.

If you were expecting Vivienne Westwood to deliver a Spring '13 collection built upon her iconic corseted silhouettes, fearless patterns, and downright zany embellishments, then you have come to the right place. While the hair-raising updos and heart-shaped face makeup could have been indicative of the clothing's equally fantastical appeal, it was far from an abstract lineup. In fact, it felt like one of Westwood's more wearable collections in recent seasons. The gowns — injected with dramatic trains, corseted bustiers, and even a hint of an accentuated hip shape — were doubly glamorous, thanks to the designer's affinity for costume-jewelry add-ons. But the gowns weren't the only pieces adorned with beautiful brooches and gem-encrusted pins. Tapestry-printed pantsuits and mini-jumpsuits also topped the list of looks that got the jazzed-up treatment. We spotted a jaw-dropping metallic column dress worthy of Diane Kruger's next red-carpet appearance mixed in with artfully draped sheaths detailed with pockets and oversize blazers presented with a strong shoulder statement. According to Westwood's Spring, you can have your eclectic costume style — all with a very wearable twist.

• Trends: Tapestry prints, costume-jewelry embellishments, corseted silhouettes, and bold shoulders.
• Colors: Metallic hues mixed in with navy, citron, pale blue, pink, black, nude, and lavender.
• Key Piece: The gold textured column dress, finished off with a large bejeweled crab brooch on the bustier.
• Accessories: Croc-skin clutches, printed platform sandals, knee-high gladiator sandals, every kind of costume-jewelry accent you could dream of, and patterned totes.
• Who Should Wear It: Diane Kruger, Anne Hathaway, and Sarah Jessica Parker.

What's the point of fashion if it doesn't make a statement? For Spring 2013, Vivienne Westwood used her clothes to make some pretty big declarations: a select few in the front row were asked to wear t-shirts that proclaimed Westwood's support for Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks.

The clothes that came down the runway made a different statement altogether. "My job now gives me an excuse to talk about what I really care about — and that is the climate revolution," Westwood said. Her environmental stance was most evident in floral Stephen Jones headdresses that some models wore with their faces painted green or orange or yellow. The clothes were about sustainability in a different way: buying only the best and longest-lasting pieces when absolutely necessary. Stylized floral prints appeared on dresses with asymmetrical necklines and a '60s feel, a simple gingham was turned into a shift dress and a twinset, and pink-and-white striped print formed an almost sweet shirtdress.
