    Vivienne Westwood Returns to Show in London

    Westwood On Her Way Back to London

    Vivienne
    Westwood will return to the London catwalk this season, staging her Red
    Label collection in the British capital for the first time in nine
    years.



    "We are back by popular demand,? insisted Westwood, the doyen of British avant-garde designers.



    ?The sales of all of our lines are increasing and we decided that
    the Red Label, which is successful worldwide and so popular in the UK,
    should have its own show,? added Dame Westwood, who began presenting
    Red in New York in the late Nineties.



    Her return marks the latest homecoming by a UK designer and follows
    on the heels of Luella Bartley and Matthew Williamson, who both moved
    their runway events back to London last season, exiting the Manhattan
    catwalks.



    Westwood, who awarded a DBE in 2006 ?for services to fashion? and
    thus can title herself a Dame, will stage the Red label show in
    London?s fashion season, scheduled from Sunday Feb. 10 to Friday Feb.
    15, 2008.



    Vivienne?s logo is a royal ORB with a cross on to; punkily
    bejeweled it?s an apt image for a designer sometimes nicknamed the
    Queen of British fashion.



    Westwood will continue to show her first line, the demi-couture
    Gold Label, as usual in Paris later in the month. When she staged her
    debut fashion show in Paris, Westwood became the first British designer
    to do so since Mary Quant in the Sixties.



    Her men?s collection, known as Man, will also stay put, though in its case in Milan.



    Vivienne launched her Red Label collection in 1994 to build a wider
    market for her own inimitable mélange of historic British tailoring and
    French chic.



    Besides fashion, Westwood designs watches, her own tartan, an
    eyewear collection and table ware for Wedgwood, as well as boasting
    five perfumes ranging from Boudoir to Libertine

    I used to work for Westwood for a number of years and am glad to hear of Red Label returning home.




    I still have a love for the brand even though my tastes have changed.
