Pamela Anderson. Vivienne Westwood Spring/Summer 2009 Collection.

Dame Vivienne Westwood is a British fashion designer largely responsible for bringing modern punk and new wave fashions into the mainstream. Throughout her career, Vivienne Westwood has been influential in launching the careers of other designers into the British fashion industry. Well, to familiarize all of you with Dame Vivienne Westwood, her designs were actually featured in the show Sex and the City and the 2008 Sex and the City movie. It seems that Sarah Jessica Parker ( Carrie Bradshaw in the movie ) wore the Westwood wedding gown. In my opinion, Vivienne Westwood's designs are meant for those bold fashionistas who are daring enough to stand out in the crowd as Westwood's collections are what I would call....one-of-a-kind, unique and....crazy =)

It was reported earlier that Pamela Anderson would be the official face of Vivienne Westwood's Spring/Summer 2009 collection. Honestly, I was a tad bit afraid of the outcome but after the ads were released.....I was utterly shocked and literally blown away by these two already-shining-legends. The ad campaign screams CRAZY all over with the duo's crazy collaboration which was shot by photographer Juergen Teller featuring shots of Pamela Anderson and Vivienne Westwood all over. It must have been one hell of a fun photoshoot. Vivienne Westwood chose this buxom 42-year-old former Baywatch babe for her quirkiness in one of her campaigns.

Let me tell you a little bit about Pamela Denise Anderson before I show you the ads...Well, got to keep the suspense up first......Hmmm...but I am 100% sure that the boys already know about her profile but....for the ladies....don't judge her just yet..... Read on......



As we all know, Pamela Anderson is a Canadian-born actress ( well-known for her role in Baywatch ), sex symbol ( Playmate of the Month in Playboy magazine, February 1990 ), glamor model, producer, author, philantropist, activist, and former show girl. In addition to her fame from modelling and acting, she has received a great deal of press attention for her well-publicized personal life. Believe it or not...she has appeared on more magazine covers than any other star of her generation and has been named in the Guinness book of World Records as "most downloaded". 

Balancing with great wit, good humor, intelligence and style her role as the favorite Playboy sex symbol, a devoted and attentive mother, and an activist for charitable causes, she enjoys a reputation for being beautiful, funny and smart. She has stuck to her own philosophy and principles, made her own decisions and successfully navigated her way through the devious world of show business and survived her own dramatic love life, one full of chances taken, heartbreak and joy. I would say that she is a determined woman with well....maybe just a few regrets. 

Well, there is nothing left to write of the wonders of the goddess of blonde hair and silicone and the great dame of stroppy British designer. The ads shot by Juergen Teller for Vivienne Westwood's Spring/Summer 2009 collection speak more than a million words.

Now now....that's a WRAP!!

Here's a video for Vivienne Westwood's Spring/Summer 2009 Womenswear to give you a rough idea of her designs. Let me warn you first....Not everyone can accept the collection because it is very very funky, futuristic, and bold.....like I said.....she is one crazy British designer =)
