The fashion industry is abuzz with the news that designer Vivienne Westwood sent a bear model down the runway in her recent Milan fashion show. So much for starving skinny boys in fashion. Let the bears take over!The model’s name is Sergio Lo Re who’s an actor and bodyguard turned fashion model. But what people didn’t realize at first was that there is much more than just a bear-necessities in this fashion statement. There was a heavy dose of politics involved.
According to Q-Magazine this wasn’t anti-skinny statement or a daddybear fetish run-amok on the runway. Vivienne Westwood showed this collection, with these specific models, in Milan to stir-up political controversy.
What the American media has failed to see about this bear event is that it wasn’t simply an act of artistic rebellion or edginess. It was a dramatic political statement about the treatment of gypsies in Italian cities.
The designer wanted to protest against the decisions of the new government of Berlusconi. They want to kick-out the gypsies from Italy. European governments and their citizens have protested this. Designer Westwood decided to present her own kind of protest. The jewelry, the fashion, the model, everything was part of the statement.
Westwood acknowledged that the menswear collection, designed for the most part by her husband Andreas Kronthaler, was intended to make people think about their ethics.
More power to ya, Viv! And we hope to see more of you, Sergio!
原文尽录，漏一不可，取自老外的熊之情色。
我不懂时尚。只是意外地发现熊男也会出现在时装秀，呵呵，
稀客稀客。而这一位，集演员以及保镳于一身的两栖熊男得
以走秀，竟然旁涉了吉普赛人被驱逐出境的政治因素。何处
不政治啊。更可怖的是，熊男Sergio在走秀当儿，竟然做出
露齿狞笑的反智动作！胃口马上倒足！但这或会是Vivienne
Westwood乐于见到的吧？可怜Sergio的处男秀，即沦为V氏
的反政府工具，且无可避免地成了反面教材。
