Vivienne Westwood’s Homeless Chic

Vivienne Westwood’s new fall menswear line features faux homeless models with faux frostbite. I wonder if she actually stopped to think about the message she put across before releasing this piece of shit upon the runway. The state of our economy is not great and many of us in this country are one paycheck away from homelessness. I guess I can get the whole “heroin chic” thing. No one forces you to use heroin and drugs are inherently part of most facets of the fashion/entertainment industry, that is almost undeniable. However, homelessness is not necessarily in our control. If Ms. Westwood happens upon this post, I hope she will consider donating a few bucks to the homeless, we all know that she most likely pays pennies on each dollar to have her garments manufactured and could spare a few cents. I just gave mine.
