Dear Shaded Viewers,

You didn't actually expect Queen Viv to take the minimal and sensible route, did you?? After all, one is clearly allowed to do what one wants after such a long run. There's no way to describe Vivienne Westwood's last show other than pure, unbridled madness, with a nonconformist stance. Some of the silhouettes reminded me of the Incroyables et Merveilleuses – the dandies and eccentrics walking the streets of Paris after the French revolution. Turns out that, with several Napoleonic references seen on other runways, Westwood was totally spot-on.
