Vivienne Westwood does graduation gowns,college,expire-images2009-7-5,FashionDesigner,graduation,KingsCollege,vivienne westwood
What did your college or high school graduation gown look like? Was it black and plain, or a color? Or did you skip the ceremony to go have a beer? Okay, maybe that was just us, but those gowns are seriously unflattering, and we had no intention of wearing it around for a day and being photographed looking like we were wearing a garbage bag. No thank you.

Fortunately, for graduates of King’s College in London, they will have something a little different  graduation capes and hoods designed by Vivienne Westwood!
