Vivienne Westwood
Political themes are a Westwood hallmark, but the irreverent designer swapped cause for commercial this season with an Olympic narrative that will be bang on the money for 2012.
London is Westwood's stomping ground, so no wonder the sporting event became her focus for next summer – giving rise to a wealth of Olympic-themed graphic tees that are sure to cross the winning line.
The look: Olympic heroes
Silhouette: Stocky and athletic
Key items: Westwood's signature English tailoring, including broad three-piece suits worn with open-necked shirts, are peppered with sporty pieces such as the dropped-crotch shorts worn with themed graphic tees, zip-through cardigans with ribbed welts at hem and cuffs, and a raglan-sleeved sweatshirt teamed with baggy track pants. T-shirts are so oversized they become smock-like tunics. Elsewhere there are pieced shirts with contrast collars and sleeves, tailored blazers with cutaway closures and shiny evening suits with cropped pants
Colour: Cool greys and chalky neutrals, steel and rich ink blues, plum and black
Fabric & knit: Signature tartan and plaid, including a hand-drawn version, jersey, cotton and sweatshirting, wet-look velour, shiny wool mohair, lustrous silks, chalkstripe suiting, a range of denims, sporty nylon
Print & pattern: Olympic torch motif in foil transfer, signature orbs in Olympic ring colours and placement, trompe l’oeil medals graphic placement, a hand-drawn London Olympics conversational, Grecian Olympiads, stars
Footwear: Metallic gladiator sandals, satin slip-ons with bows, plastic loafers, double-strap flat Mary Janes, lace-up shoes styled with long socks
Accessories: Pin badges, orb pendants, rosettes worn as key rings or lapel pins, a battered straw trilby and a Mr T baseball cap; printed cotton shoppers, two-handles laptop bags
