What to think...

Westwood was always known to shock and startle the world with her appearances in the Open.
We came upon the new campagne images for AW 11/12 you can check them out by clicking here.

Anyhow, we flicked through and had mixed feelings about the whole thing. Westwood shot the campaign in Kenya Africa which is also the production place for the new collection.

Well my dears i thought the same way! But never judge a book by its cover! Go check out the Homepage and see what ms. Westwood has to say to all of this.

"Providing work gives people control over their lives, charity doesn´t do that. Charity makes them dependent"






 We leave the rest to you guys, here below are some pictures of the new campaign.

 In a recent interview with artist Joe Bradley, Fox explicits his position:  “ The early nineties was another death-of-painting period and to be making expressive paintings that had nothing to do with appropriation was going against the tide. Fro...
