Vivienne Westwood

her punk aesthetic is something that has always appealed to me, from her collaborations with Malcolm McLaren to the infamous purple lace up platforms that caused Naomi Campbell to take a fall on the runway back in 1993. Vivienne has been an inspiration to me by showing that no matter how old you are, life will always rock. 

Betsey Johnson

Betsey is another punky designer whom I fell in love with because of her original style and amount of creativity. she may be having financial trouble at the minute but even if Steve Madden acquires her label, i’m sure her style will always shine through. Everything Betsey designs seems to take on a strange Barbie Doll like style, from her tulle drenched gowns to her almost child like colour schemes. Betsey’s ready to wear S/S 2011 collection is her most Barbie like yet!

Christopher Kane

Christopher Kane’s clothing is slowly becoming iconic, from his wild use of colour to his use of bold prints and silhouettes, I first encountered Christopher Kane wandered through Topshop with some friends and witnessed his striking Gorilla print t-shirt dress, from there I have been researching all I can about this scottish designers clothing. my personal favourite of all his designs was his Nebula print from back in 2010. His 2011 collection looks to be his most promising yet
