SEMELE WALK

Classical music and couture came together at Sydney Festival’s headlining opera Semele Walk.

Written by Georg Friedrich Händel, the opera is based on the Greek myth of Semele, mother of Dionysus. A story of excess, Semele’s obsession with the desire of unlimited experience and her craving for immortality ultimately leads to her death. Tricked into believing that her lover, the god Jupiter, is able to grant her everlasting life, she begs him to appear in his true form, however when he grants her wish she burns in his powerful flames.

Semele represents the desire for a different emotional state, that of the Dionysian, the irrational, subversive, ecstatic and self-destructive. It is this impulsive nature which is relevant to today’s society, where we are faced with a destruction of our own making – climate change.

The cast were dressed in Vivienne Westwood Couture, referencing the style of Marie Antoinette with mini crinolines and dramatic hair and makeup imitations. The music was vibrant, varied and wild with heroine Semele as the prototype of 20th century punk.

The Climate Revolution Hits the High Street

Fri, 04 Jan 2013 12:43:57 -0500

Vivienne Westwood and Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics have joined forces to turn the traditional New Year sales period on its head, and are instead working to raise awareness of Vivienne’s Climate Revolution.

Choosing the High Street to spread the message, Vivienne Westwood and Lush continue the mighty and radical tradition of the High Street being a powerful place of protest.

“I’m excited that 2013 begins with Climate Revolution, from 104 windows on the UK’s busiest shopping streets. And it gives me hope that the High Street can help pioneer a more sustainable world.” Vivienne Westwood

Join the Climate Revolution and petition, act and protest for a more sustainable future

Sara Stockbridge here wears a piece from one of Vivienne’s most influential collections, Harris Tweed AW87-88, inspired by a chance encounter:
“My whole idea for this collection was stolen from a little girl I saw on the tube one day. She couldn’t have been more than 14. She had a little plaited bun, a Harris Tweed jacket and a bag with a pair of ballet shoes in it. She looked so cool and composed standing there.”
