Vivienne Westwood, For The Punk Wife of Bath in You

Inspired by an illuminated manuscript from the 1300s, the original "Queen of Punk," Dame Vivienne Westwood, swaddled this year's Paris Autumn/Winter 2013 runway looks in sackcloth cloaks and oversized coats that wouldn't be out of place in The Canturbury Tales. The models were even brushed with sallow plague-y bruises reminiscent of the Dark Ages. But naturally, some awesome structured florals and metallic/tutu combos were thrown into the mix, as well as "slogans in support of climate change policy and philanthropic micro-investments... dotted [into] her cloaks and T-shirts."
