Peasant punk comes to Paris for Vivienne Westwood's latest Spring/Summer ready-to-wear collection on Saturday.

The grande dame of British fashion says raiding the history books for creative ideas has always been her style. She adds that designers who don't take inspiration from the past are asking for trouble.

"Designers, they burn themselves out very quickly because they've got no culture, they've been taught in the 20th century to believe everything comes from them, they mustn't copy anything -- whether they do or they don't -- and that doesn't work, it just becomes the same old thing. And so my ideas come from my deep curiosity to know what people thought and did in the past," Vivienne Westwood said.

Her collection was varied to say the least, with horror movie make-up and bed hair giving the show an air of a zombie nightmare.

A silk dress decorated with a print of portraits stolen straight from the walls of Versailles was topped with a shredded purple jumper.

Models in peasant dresses could have been working in fields painted by Constable, were it not for the overturned wicker baskets on their heads.

In recent years, Westwood's rebellious spirit has turned her into an eco-crusader, raving against the looming threat of climate change. Her collection here was dedicated to eradicating "ecocide".

Westwood fan Boy George who was in the front row at the show. He praised her courage and said the world needed more people like her.

"It's good to have a point of view about things, you know. We need agitators, we need people with axes to grind, we need people to say what they think, you know it's really important. I think it's really good and I love her for that and even if you don't agree with her it's brilliant that there are people like her," Boy George said.

Viktor & Rolf's sportswear mixed with feminine touch

And for Viktor & Rolf's new line, models walked in tight ponytails and messy bangs, as if they had just finished running. They showcased romantic sporty looks, with sleeveless, floral-print dresses with cycling shorts underneath, ample dresses and separates. Floral prints with touches of lay pink, apricot, lavender and mint green were mixed with athletic stripes, while solid-color tank tops were paired with elegant sports pants.

The collection also featured garments in classic black and white athletic wear, with a twist: jogging pants with flowery side stripes were worn with black shoes with transparent heels.

Simon Costin, The Designer Behind Alexander McQueen's Shows, Considers the Future of Fashion Shows With a New Exhibition

As Fashion Weeks come and go, designers are constantly thinking of ways to make their shows fresh and exciting, giving audiences something they haven't seen before while being careful not to overshadow the collection with too many sparkly props. Simon Costin knows a thing or two about creating amazing environments for fashion shows, having designed memorable shows for Gareth Pugh, Tim Walker, and Alexander McQueen. The art director and designer explores what fashion shows are what they "could be if the possibilities were limitless" in an exhibition at London's Fashion Space Gallery titled "Impossible Catwalk Shows."

The one-room exhibition features model sets from fictional catwalk shows along with sketches and notebooks that show the artist's processes and ideas. Costin wanted to present a "series of suggestions as to how fashion presentations could be; an invitation to dream and speculate." He outlines a few of the shows on the gallery website and makes us wish that these fake shows would become reality: "A collection shown as graffiti strewn across a deserted street; a collection displayed in a forest, where guests are handed binoculars and invited to spot the models, perched like exotic birds among the branches; or a deserted nuclear power station, the interior encrusted with crystals, with a collection that slowly decays."

In an interview with Dazed, Costin acknowledged that some of the ideas presented are outlandish, but that it doesn't really matter. "They're all hypothetical and some of them are completely mad," he said. "I'm not trying to say that this is how I'd do a show if I had unlimited resources. They’re open-ended suggestions, really. But there's a process."

"Impossible Catwalk Shows" opened at Fashion Space Gallery on Sept. 12 and will show through Dec. 13.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley takes the plunge in a daring white mini-dress

For her appearance at the pop-up boutique in South Molton Street, London, she opted to go braless while wearing a plunging white minidress which featured a black ribbon on the waist.

The 27-year-old left little to the imagination in the low-cut ensemble which revealed hints of her ample cleavage.

She teamed the stylish outfit with a sassy pair of killer snakeskin stilettos, which elongated her 5 ft 9 in frame.

Rosie, who has been dating actor Jason Statham since 2010, went for a high glamour look with her long blonde tresses flowing down her back and subtle smokey eye make-up.

Talking about her support for Coca-Cola's latest offering to the drink market, which is a new lower calorie version of the soft drink, sweetened with plant extracts, admitted she's not strict when it comes to her food choices.

Rosie said:"I’m a great believer in not denying yourself when it comes to what you eat and drink but, like everything in life, it’s about finding a healthy and happy balance."

The Plymouth-born beauty recently admitted she has always admired veteran models including Kate Moss for as long as she can remember.

The Victoria's Secret star told Us Weekly: 'I didn't really have boys on my bedroom wall. I've always loved fashion, so I always had pictures of fashion campaigns and supermodels on my wall.

"Gisele, Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer — my bedroom was adorned with beautiful women."

The Transformers actress has been busy launching her latest Rosie For Autograph underwear and lounging wear collection for Marks & Spencer.

Rosie is set to star in Mad Max: Fury Road, which is scheduled for release on May 15, 2015 in the US and UK.

Peta Sergeant flaunts cleavage in low-cut dress as Rose Porteous filming scene with Sam Neill as wheelchair-bound Lang for House of Hancock drama

It's the highly anticipated telemovie set to depict the bitter two-decade long feud between mining mogul Gina Rhinehart and her father Lang Hancock's maid-turned-wife, Rose Porteous.

The production has largely been shrouded in secrecy, but pictures of the cast have now emerged showing Hollywood big hitter Sam Neill starring in the drama alongside Peta Sergeant.

The pair were seen on location on Wednesday afternoon filming scenes at Sydney's Bankstown Airport.

Neill, who is playing the part of mining magnate Lang, can be seen wheelchair bound on the set of Gina v Rose: The House of Hancock.

But it looked like it was Malaysian actress Peta Sergeant's character Rose who was stealing the limelight.

Dressed in a show-stopping, low-cut electric blue dress with a sweetheart neckline that made the most of her ample decolletage, Peta looked like a knockout on set.

Teaming the eye-catching frock with a matching bolero-style jacket, the actress seemed to be engaging with her role of the Filipina-born Australian who infamously married the aging iron ore magnate Lang in 1985.

With her luscious brunette locks teased into a sexy up do the Winners and Losers actress posed behind a wheel-chair bound Lang, played by actor Sam Neill, 67.

Scenes from the set also show a dour looking Mandy McElhinney dressed in head to toe black.

The Australian actress, better known for playing Rhonda in AAMI insurance adverts, will tackle the role of Lang's daughter Gina who bitterly opposed the couple's marriage believing that Rose was a gold digger.

The production will tell the epic true story of the Hancock dynasty and the fall out of Lang's marriage to his former employee and housekeeper Rose, who was thirty-nine years younger than her husband when they wed - an occasion not attended by Gina.

The two-hour Channel Nine production punts the show as: 'a bitter public feud lasting two decades: filled with forbidden love, murder accusations, drug charges, illegitimate children, court cases and epic betrayal, all played out in the media.'

With filming is set to take place in Perth and the Pilbara, as well as Sydney, the series producers are said to have been taking extreme measures on set to keep information concealed - concerned about legal action from the Rinehart family.

British-Australian actor Robert Coleby will play Gina's second husband Frank, while Anna Louise Lambert will take on the role of their daughter Hope Hancock.

Wondering how some of the most prominent fashion designers fared at New York Fashion Week? Here's a look at the spring collections of some of the best-known names:

OSCAR DE LA RENTA: DETAIL, AND SOME SKIN

Oscar de la Renta's collection featured all the sumptuous, rich detail and workmanship he's known for: an ivory organza dress, embellished with hand-painted flowers and ostrich feathers, near-sheer skirts and gowns revealing the models' endless legs. More casual designs paired a large buffalo check print in pink, light blue or black with delicate looks, such as a white lacy skirt. Supermodel Karlie Kloss closed the show in a glamorous ivory silk gown, shorter in front, with green organza leaf embroidery — and then re-emerged with the beaming designer on her arm.

PRABAL GURUNG: A COLORFUL HIMALAYAN TREK

Some of the offerings at Prabal Gurung seemed to come straight from nature — for example, a strapless dress with a rhododendron print, ostrich feathers and hand-cut organza flowers on the skirt. On the sportier side, there were mountain jackets and expedition vests; on the daintier side, silky ruffled dresses. For colors, Gurung looked to mirror the changing Himalayan sky, from dawn to sunset. Also notable: his first complete footwear line under his own label — multicolored, strappy stilettos inspired by Georgia O'Keefe, Frida Kahlo and Cindy Sherman.

CAROLINA HERRERA: FOAMY AND FROTHY

Carolina Herrera faces the conundrum every season of pleasing a loyal clientele — and infusing collections with something new. This season, she turned to digital prints and foam geometric embellishments — reds in deep shades and bright neon, soft yellow and neutrals in a light mushroom tan, including a pixelated, large red flower with leaves of foam pieces sewn to a long full gown. In the designer's words, the collection was "in a way very seductive and feminine."

MARC JACOBS: A BIG FINISH

Marc Jacobs closed New York Fashion Week with models in military outfits and a computerized voice piped through Beats by Dr. Dre at every seat that spoke of a slower, quieter life. On the runway: Kendall Jenner, naturally. Jacobs threw in some blinged-out wooden slides (remember Dr. Scholl's Exercise Sandals?) and a few shiny short dresses with conveniently large pockets apropos of, well, who really knows since he's Marc Jacobs and he can do what he wants and didn't explain himself in his notes.

DONNA KARAN: URBAN CHIC, AND CRAZY HATS

Donna Karan's designs infused urban chic with a healthy dose of whimsy — much of it in bold colors and lively prints. The high point: downright bizarre — but fun — hats by milliner Stephen Jones. A key focus was the bra, which Karan sees as "the new bodysuit." One ensemble featured a black silk and nylon stretch organza bra paired with an ivory-and-black pleated poplin skirt. Walking the runway: again, young model-of-the-moment Kendall Jenner, half-sister of Kim Kardashian. "I had no idea who she was," Karan confessed. "I mean, I knew who she was, but I didn't know who she WAS."

The first ever Fashion Film Festival Milano will raise the curtain on the city’s Fashion Week this month. Seventy short fashion films, each less than eight minutes long, will be shown in marathon style on Sept. 14 and 15, and also during collections Sept. 17 to 22. Tickets are free and anyone can sign up.

Partnering with the Italian Chamber of Fashion, the newborn international talent search — open to any film entrant from any country — was conceived by Constanza Cavalli Etro, an Argentinian communications and fashion professional, and cofounder of two film festivals in Mexico. Cavalli Etro is married to Kean Etro, men’s wear creative director of the family brand.

Jane Reeve, chief executive officer of the Camera della Moda, said she “immediately fell in love” with the idea when Cavalli Etro proposed it six months ago, as it promotes creative cross-fertilization between various artistic genres and fashion, and as a way to engage a wider public during Fashion Week. “It is a gift to the city,” said Reeve.

Thirty films selected from 300 that poured in from around the world now vie for nine prizes, to be judged by a jury chaired by Vogue Italia director Franca Sozzani.

There will also be films by and on major luxury brands that will not compete, being oeuvres of highly established talent. Examples include “Missoni,” directed by Ginevra Elkann; several from Prada, such as “Prada Candy L’Eau” directed by Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola, with Léa Seydoux, or a documentary on Valentino, named after the designer, and directed by Carlo Lavagna.

In a few cases, big luxury names have thrown themselves into the contest as patrons of “young and established” artists. Case in point: “Prada-Asmara,” by Babak Jalali or “Versace-Asmara” directed by Martijn Maria Smits. Both “depict the soul of Italian creativity told through the eyes and art directing of young talents,” according to the festival’s introductory pamphlet. Films by new talents include “Agi & Sam”directed by Edward Housden, on the designers’ “surreal process” of creation and Rhié’s “The Purgatory of Monotony” directed by Ace Norton.
