If you were a top fashion designer, what would inspire you? Homeless people by any chance?
Vivienne Westwood added glamour to homelessness in a menswear show she staged in Milan last week.
The "roving vagrant", quoted from the press release, inspired Ms Westwood's range after her husband proposed that she opt for this theme.
Westwood confessed that she has never experienced homelessness, saying: "The nearest I have come to it is going home and finding I don’t have my door key."
During her show, one model emerged from a cardboard box carrying a sleeping bag. Another sported crazy headgear and wore a T-shirt advocating for climate change.
The Times suggested that a model donning an orange boiler suit alluded to the appearance of an inmate at notorious prison Guantánamo Bay.
The audience apparently enjoyed the show very much.
What do you think? Is Viv's homeless theme radical or contoversial?
