Vivienne Westwood at Berlin Fashion Week

Vivienne Westwood's Anglomania show closed out Berlin Fashion Week in a streetwear-inspired spectacle that somehow managed to blend 80s-era Harlem with ancient Greece. View photos from the show
Westwood’s buddy Kim Cattrall looked on from front row as models sporting heavy gold chains and headbands bounced down the runway, looking like they might have hung out with Westwood’s ex Malcolm McClaren in the 80s, when he was stalking hip hop pioneer Afrika Bambaataa in Harlem.
Bold prints, primary colors and Dionysian grape patterns injected Jeremy Scott-esque humor in to the irreverent parade, in which models traded their traditional poker faces for wide, camera-ready smirks.
Westwood continues to show her more affordably-priced Anglomania line in Berlin, demonstrating a long-running affection for the city where she taught fashion for twelve years (at the Berlin Academy of Arts). Berlin's growing reputation as a center of style was further cemented when Mr. Karl "leather trousers" Lagerfeld himself, in town to accept an Elle Fashion Star Award, hinted he might show in Berlin in 2009.
Und das is gut, ja?
