Vivienne Westwood has always been known for her eccentric, off-beat fashions, and for the Vivienne Westwood Fall 2010 menswear collection she decided to draw on the streets for inspiration. Made-up and accessory-laden models walked the runway but could have been mistaken for well-dressed street hustlers.
Using white make-up, baby powder and a lot of hair product (to substitute for grease) she created a look that Mugatu (Will Farrell’s character in Zoolander) would be proud of, either that or he would think that she was ripping him off. Regardless, I can think of easier and cheaper ways to get the look shown at the Vivienne Westwood Fall 2010 menswear runway presentation.
