Vivienne Westwood

[Guest thequondam]

The only thing I have is their necklace. I WANT MORE VIVIENNE WESTWOOD T-T

Vivienne Westwood in Asia (mostly Japan, HK and China) is like LV used to be...everywhere and anywhere as well as counterfeited...

I quite like Vivienne Westwood and her eclectism - her collections (esp. the ones from the past) is serious visual heaven. I only really started following VW after reading an biography on her.

However, it just seems like everyone wants to get their hands on somthing with the VW logo on it, just for the sake of the logo. It seems like its the logo > the actual clothes and what it represents (which is what its suppose to be)...i don't know, its like the whole brand is losing a certain something by sticking the logo on basically anything and everything. The craze for anything VW (accessories esp) seemed to surge after Nana.

^ well. Some people DO buy for their logos. like Gucci Coach & LV, they all print their logos on like most of their bags&accessories. the logo is what it makes em sell.

hehe.

mango_x theres a VW store in Shatin (HK). It's on the lower level. If u take the railroad train, when u come out of the station, keep walking straight and it's on your left. XD!!!

Prices are like THE SAME. >_> T_T

...and that is why it's quite sad...Vivienne Westwood is not all about accessories - she was about her clothes and what it represented and each piece had something say....now even water bottles even have her logo on it...

even Gucci, LV and especially Coach still have their legions of fans, its popularity is starting to wane as a lot of people are beginning to reject brand/logo-whoring....

[Guest Eunice!]

i go to vivienne westwood's online store

i love her necklaces ^___^

A lot of people got into VW after NANA xD. NANA rules.. ~

[la folie]

I don't really like how people start to like VW after seeing NANA.. it doesn't carry the meaning of VW anymore.

and i agree with chic_

Well, there are a lot of kids who don't really know much about designer clothing and accessories, so for instance, after NANA, they notice VW and see how nice some of the stuff really is. VW items could be sort of like a first time experience for kids in this department.

yes the accessories are nice, but i see these little pre- and early teen kids buying Vivienne Westwood - saying how much they love and admire her when they don't know what she looks like or what she stands for and the whole anti-establishment punk movement back in the day. Her collections were bold statements, not just an orb on a chain.

Vivienne Westwood is more than just a brand or the orb logo. I mean, do they even know about the type of products she made in her early career on Kings Road - i'm sure a lot of their parents won't approve of that sort of stuff...

Eh, IMO, Nana is a personification of old school Westwood. I mean, back then, her clothes were about fetish, rebellion and punk. Even today, her collections are grounded in her early days as the Queen of Punk.

If you look at Nana, the story portrays people in that lifestyle. Yeah, not many kids know about World's End with her Porno prints and fetish wear, and certainly their parents wouldn't approve... but it's not like NANA is so innocent either. The characters are not model citizens by any means... Sex, drugs, rock -- as an artist, I'm sure Yazawa Ai used Vivienne Westwood iconography on purpose.

When younger kids read or watch a movie, I do think they make the connection that VW has established with punk, even if they know nothing about fashion. I don't see anything wrong with wanting her items for that reason.

Ummm, they are all horribley FAKE. I hope you know this. Did you really spend a lot of money on these? If they are priced at real VW price I doubt you can buy all that. You probably didn't pay much for them.

[WENJJANG]

ahh i always wanted a orb necklace

i like the style so i was always trying to find something similiar.

i dont care about brand as long as it looks good =]

[MySugarCat]

Does anyone know sites that sell fakes? I'm doing a report on piracy/counterfeit/fake name brand products, burned DVDs, etc.. So, can anyone help me out?

[la folie]

Can anyone help me on how to wear a neckerchief? I have mine in my closet for a looooong time because I have no idea how to wear it or coordinate it with clothes x_x

aaaaaaand does anyone have anything of her perfume lines?

i heard some nice reviews about the Boudoir Sin Garden

[Guest Epitaph]

if any of you are in the bay, head to the de young museum before june 10 to check out VW's collection

i was impressed

[Guest Rini]

You know what I always wanted to know was if VW is bothered by the actual Nana company that makes the cosplay jewelry?

[Guest luzCONTROL_7]

I've read the story about VW on Kings Road, and I know how she looks like and all that sex pistols punk something stuff. But really, I don't care. O_O' It's clothes. Yeah, maybe it has some important meaning and all but to me it's just a really cool necklace. I don't buy clothes because it's a certain brand and I don't really care so much about the history behind it even though it's interesting to know. I just buy what I like.

Well, I should admit I would never buy a tshirt that suggests raping or something like that. :X But as I said, I buy what I like and I don't think I'd ever like something that suggests raping anyway.

And I should add that I do not own anything VW, I just like some stuff they have.

Funny you should say that because my mum bought me that perfume the other day and it smells SO NICE! :blush:

But it's tiny, 30ml (looks like it's not even that!) for $63 (£32)...

But I'm a perfume collector/addict so I guess it's ok haha! I just don't want to use it all so fast~
