Vivienne Westwood

Yesterday, I went to see the Vivienne Westwood exhibit at the de Young museum. It was truly amazing. Although no cameras were allowed in the exhibit, I found some photos online of some of my favorite selections from the exhibit.

the platform shoes that famously brought Naomi Campbell to the floor of the catwalk

Unfortunately, they only had video footage of much of Westwood's very early latex and fetish wear. But, they did have the women's latex business suit there. They also had many pieces that incorporated the hilariously stylish rubber penis button. I would totally recommend this exhibition to anyone into fetishes or fetishwear (which should just about cover everyone on my friends list), pop culture, or punk rock.
