Whilst considering the subjects of campaigns/campaigning I found that a number of designers use fashion in order to promote and raise awareness of a certain subject. An example of this kind of awareness in fashion is by the designer Vivienne Westwood. Vivienne Westwood is famous for her passionate and outright views, usually on ethnical issues and climate change. These strong, passionate issues are often expressed by Westwood’s fashion campaigning.
An especially related example of this is the current Comic Relief T-Shirts that Westwood designed in March 2011. These recent designs were produced in order to raise awareness of the charitable organisation known as Comic relief.
Below are some examples of some celebrities wearing these T-Shirt designed by Vivienne Westwood. I am interested in the way that these T-Shirts are displaying these issues through fashion on catwalks. Vivienne Westwood, has used famous faces and iconic people in order to increase popularity and therefore awareness. An advantage to involving those that are famous would also be to use them as being role models to others.
