I am shocked and excited all at the same time because it was announced in November 2008 that Pamela Anderson would be the face of Vivienne Westwood's new campaign. I really shouldn't be so shocked Vivienne Westwood is the queen of modern punk's manifestation in clothing possibly the pioneer of anti-fashion. To those of you who may not know that much about Miss Westwood - she does not really like to wear underwear and was awarded with an OBE for her contribution to British fasion by the Queen of England, and when she went to collect the award in front of the royal family and the world she pulled her dress up revealing her knicker-less self.
Back to Pam-pam, as I said, Initially I was shocked, what no Sienna Miller? What about Kate Moss? Even Agyness Deyn, Alexa Chung or Daisy Lowe. No it is Pamela Anderson - Fake boobed, bleach addicted, nose rhinoplastying, ex playmate Pammie. I find this oddly refreshing, she is not a 20 something up and coming actress, or the next singing sensation. She is a familiar face in a fresh yet debauched at the same time. Part low brow, part artist's muse, Pamela Anderson has been transformed from queen of trash to high brow fashion muse!
With Vivienne Westwood all things are possible.
Seriously
By the way the amazing photography is by the genius Juergen Teller.
