Forgive me, but when I think of elegance and class (as I often associate with designer Vivienne Westwood’s collections), Pamela Anderson does not come to mind. Regardless of your preconceived notions of the well-endowed Canadian star, she managed to model for Vivienne Westwood’s Summer/Spring ad campaign.
Anderson is not the only semi-celeb to grace the campaign. The shoots also include her husband Andrea Kronthaler.
I somehow doubt that Pamela Anderson was actually reading Plato’s Republic during the shoot as one of the photos depicts her doing. Perhaps she should just stick to Baywatch.
