Vivienne Westwood just presented her Anglomania collection during Berlin’s Fashion Week. As usual, we were wow’ed by the Great Dame of fashion. There’s no show like a Vivienne show!
Vivienne’s spring/summer 2009 collection combines elements of punk culture with her latest vision inspired by Ancient Greece. Black tee-shirts bearing the word Berlin and decorated with 80s-style badges, vibrant shift dresses, metallic puffball skirts and diamond-print bum bags were presented on the catwalk. Moreover, a puffball dress with buttoned bodice and sliced-open sleeves became one of the show’s highlights.
The high-spirited collection, targeted towards a younger more casual costumer, was the ideal way to finish off the week. Bold colours, draped jersey, and loud prints, mixed with elements of Greek antiquity and Westwood’s punk roots.
Vivienne opted for grape prints for a lot of items of her collection from casual white tee-shirts to the puffball dress.
Westwood’s extravagance filled the show and every single bit of it. Her models, instead of making a traditional catwalk show, were dancing and skipping their way along the runway.
Generally, the show was a great success with the crowd, which gave the British fashion icon a standing ovation.
The label’s co-designer Christopher Di Pietro said,
It’s become a really big business and with that has come a lot of seriousness, a lot of fun has been taken out of it. It should be fun. I mean, what’s not to like about seeing beautiful girls wearing beautiful clothes?”

Bold print shift dresses formed a key part of the playful catwalk show.
Sex And The City star Kim Cattrall went to Berlin this Sunday to visit the city’s extravagant fashion week finale. Ms. Cattrall was seated in the front row alongside Vivienne Westwood, checking out her Anglomania collection.
