Dame Vivienne Westwood held an unusual fashion show Tuesday, in London. It was a full scale production that consisted of a runway show, a live orchestra playing classical music and a performance of ballet.
At the heart of the event was Westwood's Gold Label collection "Chaos Point." The dark title for the collection, draws its inspiration from the impending global ecological crisis.

Westwood outlined her view of this daunting spectre in a story she wrote called, 'Active Resistance Against Propaganda'.
The story is about a group of former soldiers who discover the miracle of life, while living in a jungle.
The soldiers then take up the crusade, becoming freedom fighters, who spread the message: every person can change the world.
Westwood asked a class of school-children to listen to her story. Then she asked students to paint their visions of the story.
