LFW: Vivienne Westwood Red Label AW 2012   

“British,” Westwood has taught us over the years, means punk; rebellion; the smashing of stereotypes - but something about this offering was more Miss Brodie than misbehaviour.
Opening with various incarnations of tweed and wool suiting, the collection had a more buttoned-up feel than usual, still with an eccentric flavour: think Mary-Poppins-meets-Downton-Abbey-meets-Helena-Bonham-Carter.
The palette was more sedate than before too; still rich - in pinks and plums, blues and teals, greys and browns - but without the brand’s sometime gaudiness.
Vivienne’s little wink of subversion was there too - in painted tattoos on the models’ necks and forearms and in the tattoo-inspired tights that adorned most legs.
The Brit theme gave way eventually to African-inspired tribal prints on Lurex knits and jersey dresses, before an offering of very much more elegant dresses and suits took to the catwalk.
