Vivienne Westwood, Autumn/Winter '08 (scroll down to read the review)
Vivienne Westwood
Whilst sitting amidst the faded splendor of the Sala delle Cariatidi in the Palazzo Reale, Wallpaper* was treated to one of the last viewings of Westwood's retrospective, which ends its four month billing shortly.
It's always impressive to see the body of work of such a visionary genius, but just as impressive is the number of other designers she has influenced. Many a look heavily 'inspired' by Westwood was spotted on other Milan runways, both this season and past seasons. We have chosen to show five relatively somber looks, all with great pants consisting of the looser fit with a dropped crotch that Westwood has been championing for sometime.
