'Governments cause poverty, poverty is the cause of crime, therefore, politicians are criminals.”
Dame Vivienne Westwood chose to forgo the runway this season, opting instead to launch her Spring 2020 collection digitally through images and video content. Once again, she's using her platform to raise awareness of the environmental impact that clothes and consumption have on our planet, but this time, she's taking it even further.
"Governments cause poverty, poverty is the cause of crime, therefore, politicians are criminals," she says matter-of-factly. The accompanying lookbook showcases the unisex spring collection on a variety of men and women posing against signs reading"What's bad for the planet is bad for the economy" and"What good for the planet is good for the economy."
The video, directed by Hugo Comte and dubbed"No Man's Land," offers a glimpse into a wiped out wasteland in the near future, according to the brand, which will happen once we"go over the tipping point." The solution? An ideal world where wealth is distributed fairly and no one owns land, hence the title of the film.
