The grande dame of British fashion, Vivienne Westwood, took center stage at London Fashion Week Thursday night when a celebrity-studded audience gathered for the first look at her spring and summer "Red Label" collection for 2009.
The eagerly awaited show drew throngs of people to west London's Brompton Hall for a collection that focused on extremely lightweight tailored summer wear designed with Arabic and African overtones.
There were a number of hooded dresses and tops with Middle Eastern accents mixed in with tea dresses in draped and knotted fabrics that evoked nostalgia for the days of the British Empire.
Colors were muted and often pale, set off at times by raucous gold metallic jewelry and other brightly colored accessories.
