Crush of the Week: Vivienne Westwood's Bear

Posted by Emily Farris

 

In the recent runway show for her Spring-Summer 2009 menswear collection, designer Vivienne Westwood used some seemingly normal looking dudes as models. And by normal looking we mean men with tattoos, some that looked like they have drug problems, some with really bad hair and, uh, one bearded man in a little pink track suit.

And then there was a bear.


 

If you missed him at 2:31 in the video, the man in question (pictured above) would qualify as a bear in the gay community, or a burly, bearded man in ours. While we're not a fan of his facial hair, or his track suit (sorry, Viv!) or even his bling, we're glad to see that big, bearded men are walking the runways in high fashion shows. In Milan!

We hope this is a trend and we commend him putting it all out there.

And for that, Vivienne Westwood's "bear" is our Crush of the Week.
