Even before her punk days Westwood was driven by an anarchic and rebellious attitude which she brought to the fashion industry in 1977 with an explosive power we haven't seen the likes of which since. Now, she herself has become the elder stateswoman of UK fashion, but her non-conformity is still plain to see and her 2009 spring / summer men's jewellery collection is no exception when it comes to style, themes and materials.
A recent example of non-conformity is Vivienne's choice of models. She has always ridden contrary to the skinny industry stereotypes and even this month former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson was used as a Westwood model at the PARIS show on March 9. A sizzling display indeed. Anderson took three outings onto the runway, oozing sex at a fall 2009-winter 2010 display that dripped with campy sensuality.
Camp is a big theme in the 2009 /2010 Westwood collection. Mens Jewellery pieces such as the Satyr on Penis is an obvious "camp" accessory, but the real question she's asking is to the straight guys. "Are you man enough to wear a penis pendant?", but don't worry if you're not, you will still be comforted by the by the fact that Westwood repeats her classic Orb, Safety Pin, Skull Rings and Bone pendant themes with each collection.
