- Story Text: Designer Vivienne Westwood has shown her winter
ready-to-wear collection at the Paris fashion show - a
collection with wearable and warm clothes.
Vivienne Westwood's autumn-winter collection for
2000-2001 was dedicated to winter, with a poem by Shakespeare
on the catwalk door and bright spots of emerald green
"heralding the spring".
The controversial designer also drew inspiration, it
seems, from the Cat-in-Boots and Robin Hood.
The novelty was certainly in paw-shaped shoes and boots,
furry necklaces and paper hair jewellery.
Evening dresses were made of emerald green silk, lace and
tartan fabric, or various
tones of leather.
"Fabrics that you've never seen put together before,"
declared Westwood.
