"Too Fast To Live Too Young To Die"
Vivienne Westwood, one hell of a rare fashion designer, unique to be precised.
Honestly, I was not very fond of her design before, but I am now especially for Westwood's accessories design.
I found them interesting while I was reading this manga "NANA ナナ".
The characters wear a lot of Viviene Westwood, for the accessories in particular. The manga "NANA ナナ" was inspired a lot by collaboration of Westwood and The Sex Pistols' punk look; all those bondage gear, safety pins, razor blades, bicycle chains on clothing and spiked dog collars for jewelry, combines w/ outrageous gothic make-up and hair, and tartan fabric essentially.
As we all know, this punk style is still quite influential nowadays. I myself quite put a liking in this style, more and more after I read NANA ナナ. *by the way, I recommend you guys to read it. Love the storyline ;) You can read the mangascan at www.onemanga.com*
Months ago, I was browsing for Westwood's stuff and found these couple of eye-catching items. But as thought, way too costly for a hell of way too unique designs. Wish Santa will come thru my window or else -have no chimney anyway- one day to give me these items *AMEN!*
ORB ROCKS!
Armour Silver Ring £170.00 *OMG*
It was worn by both Nana in manga and real movie *played by Nakashima Mika*
Mini Bas Pearl Bracelet £75.00 *OMG*
Classic Mini Bas Earrings £60.00 *OMG*
And this is the item I want the most...
Orb Lighter Limited
though I don't smoke, somehow I find this lighter super cool..it works as a necklace too. Sold out everywhere, all you can get is the used one *wew*
It was worn by Shin, who was only 15/16 actually..kids today huh!? fictionally ;p
