Vivienne Westwood Fall 2012

Brittney Stephens — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 19:16:41 PST

If not for Vivienne Westwood, rocker chicks would have nothing to wear - and for Fall 2012, Westwood gives them plenty in the form of tulle, tartan, and t-shirts. Westwood always has a knack for wonderfully peculiar tailoring, in this case it's seen on sharp, angular blazers that look like origami structures and gigantic silhouettes, which for Fall are layered and oversized and bring to mind Mary-Kate Olsen during her "hobo-chic" phase. When it came to dressing up, Victorian-inspired sequin and marabou gowns were kept slightly unfinished, bringing a decidedly rugged, grunge-chic edge, and corseted coats were punctuated with sleek shadow-stripe silks. The collection wasn't presented without its share of showmanship, however; models rode bikes in girlie marabou dresses, carried bunches of blooms, and teetered on super-high platform heels down the runway. All in all, Vivienne Westwood's Fall '12 collection was a carefully curated and perfectly haphazard 17th-century soiree.

Trends: Plaid, mixed prints, iridescent silks, tulle skirts, marabou.
Colors: White, peach, baby blue, black, silver.
Key Look: The grunge-cool marabou dress with metallic silver gloves, elevator platforms - and a bike.
Accessories: Sky-high flatforms, jaunty newsboy caps, elbow-length gloves.
Who Would Wear It: Offbeat style setters with a punk rock edge.

Oscars: Rose Byrne

The Bridesmaids beauty stepped out in luxe Vivienne Westwood sequins befitting the glamour of Oscars Sunday. Adding to the wow factor, she complements her slinky black gown with a gorgeous set of Chanel drop earrings, megawatt bracelet, and a dazzling cocktail ring. To finish, she offsets the sparkle with a pair of black platform Jimmy Choos. Thoughts?

Vivienne Westwood Red Label Fall 2012

Brittney Stephens — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 12:52:59 PST

Vivienne Westwood brought her signature brand of punk rock glamour for Fall, showing a collection of easy, hipster-cool pieces for Red Label. The designer pulled out all the stops when it came to styling - stripes were jauntily mixed with plaids and polka dots, menswear-inspired fedoras were tied with colorful ribbons, and models were painted with crosses, hearts, and other symbols, playing to a vibe of '60s-era protest chic. One print that carried through the collection was a large-scale geometric design; it was shown on wrap dresses, tie-neck blouses, skinny trousers, and even a slouchy jumpsuit, adding a fresh dose of tribal cool. Get the full breakdown below.

Trends: Plaids, geometric prints, trousers, Grecian draped dresses.
Colors: Black, red, gray, violet, orange.
Key Piece: The slouchy printed one-piece was gas station attendant gone glam.
Accessories: Ruby red tights, fedoras with colorful ribbons, printed neck scarves, ankle-strap heels.
Who Would Wear It: Girls with a rocker-cool, vintage aesthetic, like Gwen Stefani.

Celeb Style: Rachel McAdams Wears the Perfect Spring Cocktail Dress For The Vow Premiere

Hannah Weil — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 08:35:16 PST

If you have a wedding or cocktail party coming up this Spring, look to Rachel McAdams's chic look at the premiere of The Vow for inspiration. The actress zeroed in on the pretty-cum-sexy vibe, opting for a curve-conscious Vivienne Westwood dress, but in a soft pastel hue. There's also a cool contrast to her evening style - Rachel toughened up her cocktail frock with Pomellato diamond and gold chain statement jewels, then finished on a softer note with a pair of nude Louboutin pumps and a delicate lace-trimmed clutch in hand.

American Music Awards: Katy Perry

BellaSugar — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 17:32:18 PST

Katy Perry's not afraid of a little drama, and her Vivienne Westwood floor-length gown, blue heels, and geometrical fascinator made for a whole lot of look. She added crimson lips and winged eyeliner, which made her lilac hair look even brighter. This isn't Katy's first quirky red-carpet look, although it's quite a bit more fabric than we're used to seeing. Do you love her sense of whimsy here, or is she taking the fun a little too far for you? Vote on all of our American Music Awards polls here!

15 Pieces to Channel Fall's Anglo Trend Like a Prep-School Pro

Hannah Weil — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 03:30:20 PDT

Given the obsession with the royals, it seems only fitting that our latest fashion fixation also comes from across the pond, though this time around the style we're seeking is more prep-school punk than Princess Catherine. We never hit the books at Eton, but we're answering Fall's call to Anglo charm with boarding-school basics, like rugby stripes and tasseled loafers. To make your part as prep-school rebel a little more convincing, we've thrown in a few edgier pieces - think McQueen's tartan plaid mini, studded leather cuffs, and distressed tweed jackets to counter the more traditional garb. Just click through to shop all the key pieces.

FabSugar — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 08:43:03 PDT

Vivienne Westwood is one designer that never shies away from something bold. For Spring 2012, Westwood showed off the female form with sophisticated tailoring, eye-catching metallics, and off-the-shoulder necklines. She balanced out the feminine frocks with ultra-tomboy separates, including a head-to-toe checked suit, pin stripe shorts, and newsboy hats. And of course, it wouldn't be a Vivienne Westwood show without dramatic make-up and hair - from waist-grazing locks, to shimmery green eye shadow, daring beauty dominated the runway.
