Vivienne Westwood is always a designer and a sartorial rebel with a cause, and her Autumn/Winter 2014 menswear collection didn’t stray too far from what was expected. In fact, it was a pretty fine interpretation of what occupies her tireless, ingenious mind: fracking. With a much darker colour palette than we were used to taking over the initial mood of the collection, gold touches came to indicate the nicknames of the much coveted petroleum. All that at first, because soon patterns start to take over and Westwood’s classic colourful world, in laid-back yet well-structured silhouettes, appears to remind us that predictable and conventional are the two things Vivienne will never be.
