Election day

An integral element of Vivienne Westwood's Spring/ Summer 2009 advertisingcampaign, Juergen Teller's Election Day features an unlikely collaborationbetween the doyenne of British street style, Baywatch star Pamela Andersonand Westwood's former assistant/current husband Andreas Kronthaler.Employing Teller's signature theatrical mis-en-scene, these images--shot onlocation in Los Angeles--include Vivienne and Andreas' friends, members ofthe band Queens of the Stone Age. Escaping all efforts at narrative orcategorization, the volume features shots of the protagonists in a golfbuggy, Anderson reading Plato's Republic with a nipple visible throughsheer fabric, Westwood and Anderson frolicking in clothes baskets at alaunderette and the two beaming in front of a television announcing BarackObama's imminent victory.
