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).
::"Get a Life" t shirt below... New meaning to insensitivity.
