Mens Punk Clothes
VIVIENNE Westwood, outrageous fashion designer and noted eccentric, is, we've decided, the Miss Jean Brodie of our age. She may be well past her prime, but the 57-year-old iconoclastic former punk, who appears to teeter permanently in her outlandish platform soles
and mens punk clothes on the brink of bawdiness and disaster, has a great deal in common with Dame Muriel Spark's most famous fictional creation, the absolutist, aphoristic Edinburgh schoolmistress.
Complete Selection of Mens Punk Clothes
As was the case with Bonnie Jean, Westwood began her career as a schoolteacher, and also comes across as a serious-minded bottle blonde who never seems to get the joke of her own batty sartorial notions. Westwood may go further than Brodie in her camp fondness for Marcel waves in her hair and wearing nae knickers (and not even a fur coat) to meet the Queen, but they're equally fanatical. Brodie had a seditious intent to inculcate enthusiasm among her charges for the men punk clothes she most admired - Il Duce and General Franco. Westwood instructs her staff to study everything from alchemy to Jungian psychology, asserting that this will enable them to better understand her frocks. Indeed, ever since she first preached anarchy in the mid-Seventies through her bondage-wear shop, Sex, the first punk clothes outlet, and in tandem with her then partner Malcolm McLaren, soon to be manager of the Sex Pistols, she has baffled and shocked in equal measure.
Mens Punk Clothes - Ultimate Selection
| But, like the flamboyant, eccentric Miss Brodie, Westwood is still the creme de la creme. Absurd, inspiring, myopic, romantic, influential, ridiculous, magnificent, all words which could be used to describe the woman who turned the punk clothes, "In my prime!" into a rallying cry for a generation, can also be applied to Britain's self-appointed greatest living designer. Especially one who asserts vociferously that: "Clothes should be the badges of culture and civilisation." Fitting then that this latter-day Brodie - the pantomime dame of British fashion - punk clothes should discover that, in fact, she prefers Scotland to England. On Friday evening she brings her first fashion show to Glasgow. The boxer Chris Eubank, Jodie Kidd and Valerie Campbell (Naomi's mum) will strut their stuff at the SECC in Westwood's Gold Label collection. Glasgow's Nescafe society will blend, apparently. "For one night only," witters the press release which comes with the grande dame's 12-page CV, "Glasgow will become part of the international fashion circuit." For one night only? Tell that to Glasgow's Gaultier-clad gauleiters. See also punk clothing, and pages relate to mens punk clothes | more |
