Vivienne
Westwood, Kate Moss and Juergen Teller
What will happen if a
rebelled Madame, a supermodel and a German photographer team up at the museum??? The
threesome reaches to the very both orgasmic and orient territory, thanks to Wien.
In order to celebrate the first Vivienne Westwood boutique open in Austria, selected pieces from the Gold Label SS13 and AW12/13 collections were featured on the catwalk alongside pieces from a Capsule Collection of evening dresses, showcased as Kate Moss photographed by Teller, who famously ‘employs a raw, overexposed style and he uses a Contax G2 camera with an onboard flash’ (Horyn, 2008).
Vivienne Westwood’s garments are as beautifully striking as elegantly meticulous, usually draped in fabric, abstract on human bodies but breath within together, perhaps it’s derived from her literature degree training; Kate is as lustful and cool as ever, her bony silhouette depicts the flowery collections in a luxurious way, even though she is already a Missus. Among the campaign photos, the most intriguing one is Kate spreading up her legs as wide as her shoulders, the pole accidently symbolizing as an erecting penis, plus with a ‘SEX’ text, just in front of the painting of Caravaggio (David showing Goliath’s Head, 1605). While Teller’s ‘manipulatively’ crude shots at Kunsthistorisches Museum, which makes quite many of museum lovers wonder: It is not allowed to shoot with flash at a shooting ‘gallery’, everybody is inclusive, is it?; the resolutions are too eyesore
flashy,still, I truly wish the trio-collaboration could be issued as a collector’s campaign album.
