We told you last year that Vivienne Westwood’s Anglomania label was collaborating with Lee Jeans on a men’s and women’s denim collection. Well it hit the runway at Men’s Fashion Week in Milan and at Hong Kong Fashion Week last month without much fanfare!

It was touted as a collection that would take inspiration from Westwood’s archive of seminal punk and pirate collections from the 1970s and 1980s with a range of bright over-dyed denim in electric blue, red, emerald green, camel and white as well as metallic printed gold and copper denim… but aside from the metallic gold skinny jeans, it’s not quite lived up to it’s punk/pirate inspirations. I suspect these looks only show a preview of what’s to come, but its suffice to say (denim wise) so far it’s a little underwhelming.

The Vivienne Westwood Anglomania & Lee Jeans collaboration will hits Vivienne Westwood stores and selected retailers worldwide this July with pieces set start from £80 to £200.
