::IN POOR TASTE::VIVIENNE WESTWOOD'S "HOMELESS CHIC"

VIVIENNE WESTWOOD

MILAN

CLOTHING ASIDE, (we'll get to that in just a moment) What on earth was team Westwood THINKING?!!! or should I say, NOT thinking.

VIVIENNE WESTWOOD showed her menswear line in Milan last night, in what has got to be one of the most tasteless shows in recent memory. The "catwalk" was covered with cardboard, the models were disheveled, and covered in dirt, pushed shopping carts down the runway and wore sleeping bags as props.

::

WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS?

Is this supposed to bring light to this issue? If so- why wasn't it done a lot more tasteful instead of trivializing, and almost romanticizing homelessness?

There is absolutely nothing- NOTHING chic about homelessness.

FACT: According to the UN, bout 25,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes.

FACT: The wealthiest 20% of the world’s population consumes 76.6% of the world’s goods while 80% of humanity gets the remainder.

Honestly, the line is strong enough to stand alone- without the use of these awful props. What could have been a successful show with well executed clothing, was out-shined by incredible poor judgement (no pun intended).

::HAITI ON MY MIND::

:: WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW? ::

Are you in a warm bed laptop in hand

?

Are you at work reading pretending to be busy? ...

Or are you in your living room blog surfing?

::

Wherever you may be, you are in the position to provide help to someone in need. NO amount of help is too small. OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS in Haiti need your help. Please take a second to reflect on the countless blessings you posses, and realize that there are many less fortunate than us.

My heart ACHES for Haiti.

As many as 100,00 may be dead. Hundreds of thousands are displaced, with no home, no shelter, no medical supplies, no food, no water, no hope. Children are orphaned, and the scope of this catastrophe is unimaginable...this country is in dire need.

As a citizen of the world, I implore you to do your part. If you can afford the latest "it" anything, you can afford to help those in need. Every dollar helps.

You never know when it will be your turn to be in need...
