Hot on the heels of the ARIA Awards car crash comes the Brit Awards plea for help. With the request of a trophy redesign, the British pop music award show has called upon highly-lauded UK designer Vivienne Westwood. With the intention of giving the January event a complete makeover, the eccentric red-head, responsible for bringing ‘punk’ style into the mainstream, seemed the perfect candidate. Each year a different creative individual will be chosen to transform the statue from a state of ‘blank’ canvas to one that reflects their vision. Pioneer Vivienne Westwood helped shape the image of ‘70s punk collective the Sex Pistols, whose members were often seen donning her trademark style famous for its safety-pins, spiked dog collars and lavatory chains. As a designer whose influence is embedded in time, Westwood’s unorthodox touch will bring a fresh batch of viewers to the Brit Awards. “Vivienne stands for all the things we want to inspire in tomorrow's generation of artists”, said Brit Awards chairman David Joseph. A premature sketch has indicated that the traditional silver trophy will be be re-modeled donning a dress that reflects Westwood’s signature draping style. The ceremony design overhaul will also see the honourable Outstanding Contribution Award replaced with the MasterCard British Album Of The Year.
