mj777, here's Olivia Rodrigo wearing a Vivienne Westwood dress.

Oh that's cool that Olivia is wearing clothes designed by her! I like that dress

Is he doing okay? He looks a little restless.

He’s just having an itchy belly.

Yes / Long Distance Runaround

I think he's trying to be scary. But it looks funny))))

FYI Cyd Charisse was in Janet Jackson's 1990 video for Alright. Janet is not my person but this is a cool little cameo from Cyd. She was 70 when she did this. Time stamp for Cyd is 2m 55s.

One of my favourite videos! Sooo good!

Tewkesbury Abbey after Storm Gerrit did its thing.

Same in Northern Germany. In 2023 we got the most rain ever. Since weather monitoring starting sometime more than 100 years ago. I'm bad at figures.

Yes, you can have all the croissants, lol.

I just feel so sorry for the people who are directly affected by this type of thing. Storm Gerrit hit the UK on 27 & 28 December. This little vid shows just some of the damage. The roofs were ripped off by a localised tornado so maybe that would have happened even without Storm Gerrit. It's hard to know. Devastating for those poor people, though.

I love that VW dress. Olivia has great taste in clothes, imo. I've posted a few photos of her. Her own personal style is fabulous.

Michael was celebrating New Year's Eve? Does anyone know about it? I can't remember anything.

 

[bluemoon7]

I really love how Vivienne Westwood mixes Punk with Baroque and Renaissance (also Victorian/Edwardian/Romantic) shapes and elements. Very cool and recognizable. Her clothes always look very "organic" and lively.

 

[bluemoon7]

YES! This is something my younger self would have loved to wear!!!

Could you expand a bit? You've seen ... what? A photo? A news item?

 

[zinniabooklover]

I love the way she can do the princess thing as well as the teenage punk thing. I don't like all of her outfits but when she hits the mark she looks amazing. I do like Olivia as an artist, as well. She's a really good songwriter, imo.

@bluemoon7


This is more my style when I was younger. I didn't ever do the princess thing!

Her shapes are always awesome. This last dress is sooo beautiful!

Yes! I wanted to post some photos of VW's clothes showing exactly these elements. But you know what I'm like once I get started, I'll just go on and on until the end of time. For the sake of everyone's sanity I thought I'd best stick to just showing a very small selection to give @@mjfanatic777 an idea of what Vivienne Westwood clothes looked like.

But there are so many outfits she designed that show exactly these elements you've highlighted here. Years ago I read an interview with Vivienne Westwood and the journalist pointed out that she essentially does the same thing every time she has a new collection out. Westwood did not take offence because she knew what the journalist was getting at. She agreed that, yes, what she's doing is always searching for the most perfect version of the vision in her head for each garment or outfit that she creates. I absolutely LOVE that. Makes so much sense to me. Like a sculptor trying to find the shape inside the block of marble or whatever.

Any information would be interesting. I've looked, but there's nothing. No photos, no video, no mention of anything. So the question's off.((((

@bluemoon7

This isn't even the kind of outfit I had in mind in response to your comments. I know exactly which outfits and 'looks' you are referring to. But, anyway, here's Katy Perry wearing VW. I love the drama of this dress.
