Pam Anderson for Vivienne Westwood?

WWD’s confirming last month’s wild rumor that Pamela Anderson’s the face of Vivienne Westwood for Spring 09.

The former Jane columnist, or Baywatch star, whichever, stars alongside Dame Viv and her husband Andreas Kronthaler in her Malibu trailer.

Juergen Teller’s shot the ads, no surprise there, in which Pam rocks all four of Vivienne’s labels - Red, Gold, Anglomania and MAN.

Apparently, Viv was as surprised as I was to see Pam sitting front row in a smashing gold dress at September’s Red Label show during London fashion week. She was so blown away, in fact, that when it came time to pick the models for the spring campaign she eschewed them altogether in favor of Pam.

We’d have picked a second round of Dita, but we’ll be patient, we swear.

Fashion Photography. Juergen Teller.

Juergen Teller is somewhat of a controversial figure in the fashion world. New York Magazine says that he "has little patience for most fashion photography. It’s done “by gay people finding women sexy.” he says".

Also, none (none) of his photographs are retouched or airbrushed; which definitely sets him apart form the rest.

Whether you like him or hate him, he has interesting stuff to say and interesting stuff to show; he has also influenced current fashion photography (think American Apparel) in a profound way.
