Maniera had paid tribute to British designer, Vivienne Westwood, known for her punk rock and new wave fashions.  Growing up in the new wave era, watching MTV and listening on my cassette tapes of Elvis Costello, The Clash, The Cure, The Ramones, New Order, Adam Ant – music and fashion heavily influenced each other in so many ways.  It was a time when men wore eyeliner, women wore their lingerie on the outside, doc martens were paired with ripped fishnet stockings, and people colored their hair every shade of the rainbow.  It was more than a fashion statement but a rebellion to everyday norms.  Vivienne Westwood pushed the boundaries of fashion.  Her designs incorporated bikers, fetishists, and scottish designs of the tartan fabric making her unique and explosive.

“I love this city and its culture. I want to encourage people to love art and believe that culture can save the world. Culture is about people’s outlook on the world and along with art, is the anchor that holds us together as a people and gives life greater meaning.” ~Vivienne Westwood~
