Vivienne Westwood's Spring 2009 Collection: Third Analysis

Just noticed something. That monster of a belly-gut is not attractive at all. Check out the dude's tummy! It's hanging out just a tad -- looks like the clothes are kind of tight. Kind of uncomfortable, kind of...not worth buying?
I really want my stomach to look like that.
Okay, I'm just saying, if your going to put on a photo shoot, hire a professional photographer, and block the street corner up, pay P-Boobs some bills, do a little bit of sucking in here. It's the least thing this cougar-chaser can do. For model or Curt Cobain-impostor looking all ill-prepared for his cameo (-1 pt).

Vivienne Westwood's Spring 2009 Collection: Second Analysis

space and we ain't talking galaxies and shiny stars
what's going on here? Focus should be on the clothes, and focus is brought on to the clothes by use of space. There is such random space, and it's not even being filled in the most attractive ways. I know this is being really nit-picky but the white car has its butt sticking out. It doesn't outline Westwood nicely at all, and near her hip there's this brown log thing, which matches so well with her leggings that it looks like a purse or something. And because you don't see a lot of the 'log thing' it just distorts your eye's attention visually. Aesthetic Confusion. (-1 pt). Plus, the dog's leg jetting out to the left of P-Boobs hip looks like a random strap. Enough though it's dog's tail and leg. It's just all to crazy.
Not really, but still dog-straps-tails never a passable thing. That's it.
I'm calling PETA, I'm on it. Endorsing animal accessories, they should feel all ashamed.

copy cat chilly-willy styles
The dry cactuses get more attention than the actual clothes, why are they upfront and not Westwood who is wearing the ripped up remains of her collection? Maybe she wanted to be in the background to proof herself as a non-attention whore. But really, if your selling, pony-up and get your stuff out there. Standing awkwardly all chilly-willy bagged decked out over your shoulder like your a random kid whose 'running away' by camping on the front steps of her home isn't exactly cutting the deal either.
Composition-wise I agree that's its nice to have random texture and objects everywhere but when the scene is already cluttered with parked cars, palm tree's, parking meters, dogs, telephone poles, shadow's and P-Boobs, there's a lack of focus. No focus can be blamed for bad use of space(-1 pt).

Vivienne Westwood's Spring 2009 Collection: First Analysis

pamela anderson is a piss-off
Why Vivienne Westwood casted Pamela Anderson in her new 2009 Spring Collection campaign is messed up. Dirty dirty notoriety. Speaking of dirt, Pamela Anderson is so mud. She’s like the mud of all mud slides. Not only is she that, but she’s just passé. Her look is just done. The boobs to the boobs, to the boobs? Anderson’s overall playboy image has been slapped on so many different things, that it’s just been pounded to the ground. It’s over.
Why Vivienne Westwood casted her into her new 2009 Spring Collection campaign is f-uped. Having P-Boobs as a subject in this ad (-1 pt.)The message of the ad is so off because of her, I don't know about you but when I see this ad I think Hugh Hefner, Tommy Lee and sexual harassment. You know, the trailer park communnity is a completely different sub-culture altogether -- it's not the culture of punk. Westwood's clothes are'punk'. Really? Because last time I looked at the ad I found that all that was missing from making it a completely picturesque trailer park utopia were a couple of beer bottles and some white beaters. Way to target trailor folk as your consumers, Westwood. Because that makes such sense, when your clothes have a price tag of a thousand if not more bucks. That's like the downpayment for a trailer home.

punkie kicks
Razor blades, bicycle or lavatory chains, safety pins, spiked dog collars and making hair look messier and dirtier even though it’s just been washed look is nothing short but p-u-n-k. Punk started with Punk music. Punk rock music worked through our speakers in the early 1970’s. It was bands like the Ramones, in New York City, and the Sex Pistols and The Clash, in London, who were totally the ones that looked fierce, and made fierce looking hawt. At their first gig, the Sex Pistols were clothed in stuff by Vivienne Westwood –catapulting the punk style to high stat as the trend rolled in notoriety.

boobs
The ad makes me not want to buy those clothes, it makes me think of implants, and old implants at that. Plus, Westwood herself featured hip-to-hip with her much younger beau, looks like she could have easily been one of the Twilight vampires. She’s freaky looking, pale with carrot-top hair. I’m not down. The great Dane is the only thing in this ad that looks normal – scare a little chiwawa to death no doubt, but at least healthy looking.
