The Vivienne Westwood Fall 2012 selection was delivered to the public at this year's Paris Fashion Week. Westwood's proclivity for punk style, originally seen in her designs for the Sex Pistols, made inroads here via mismatched plaid and chunky Doc Martens-esque platforms. Slim fitting ladylike dresses and translucent hosiery were also present, delivering an interesting mixture of rocker chic styles with trim, proper apparel.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Vivienne Westwood's Fall 2012 Paris Fashion Week presentation is its lighting. Indigo spotlights followed the models throughout the catwalk, and a hazy dark glow could be found where they were not present. These floodlights displayed the technicolor Westwood pieces in an obscure manner, leading viewers to do double take at the couture designs.
