With her legions of devoted fans, Vivienne Westwood's Red Label show is surely one of the hottest tickets on the London Fashion Week schedule. For Autumn Winter 2015, the designer showed her collection in the breathtaking surroundings of the Science Museum and, as ever, attracted a suitably eccentric FROW including Paloma Faith and Eighties Mud club legend Philip Salon, as well as a surprise catwalk appearance.
Read on for the 5 things we loved from the iconic designer's show...
1. Masterful Makeup
Industry legend Val Garland has collaborated with Dame Westwood for seasons now, it's the perfect canvas for her ingenious, creative makeup. This time round, models faces were brushed with red paint which sculpted the face and eyes for dramatic effect.
2. Pile It On
When it comes to accessories, more is more according to Vivienne Westwood. Sunglasses, berets, brooches were all present and correct. Models carried cute bags with cartoons of teddy bears and kittens but things got harder with leather chokers and cuffs with silver piercings and safety pin earrings - a nod to her punk rock roots.
3. Daisy Lowe's Catwalk Cameo
After sitting on the FROW at Topshop Unique just hours before, Brit beauty Daisy Lowe took to the catwalk with aplomb. Her famous curves were wrapped in a black lace dress toughened up by chunky chains and red markings on her face. "Best day ever at #LFW," she instagrammed once back in her hotel room. "Thank you @viviennewestwoodofficial now... How do I take this makeup off??"
4. The Message
She's passionate about politics and uses her show notes to voice her manifestos and campaigns. This season it was simple. The Red Label girl would Vote Green, and she thinks you should too.
5. Curtain Call
Some designers just poke their heads out from behind the curtains, some make a quick run up and down the catwalk, head down with a shy wave and then some don't make an appearance at all. We love how Vivienne Westwood enjoys the moment, leading the models in the finale and saying hello to her front row supporters and taking her time in front of the photographers. It feels like a celebration, warms our hearts and is our favourite ending to any show at London Fashion Week.
