Witnessed for the first time at the Man SS2017 Catwalk Show, Vivienne Westwood presents the unique Giant Penis Safety Pin. Gorgeously doused in vibrant magenta, this striking safety pin is detailed with classic, charming motifs made from resin to ensure the pin remains light weight. Featuring a pink golden coated coin and distinct iconic pink 3D Westwood Orb charm, the combination of motifs gives this piece a very signature Westwood look.

• The penis silhouette and safety pin are recurring motifs in the Westwood iconography and heritage, having appeared in many collections throughout the Westwood brand and its history. The Giant Penis Safety Pin adopts these motifs in this striking and unique Westwood accessory -- suspended from a large golden safety pin featuring the iconic 3D Westwood Orb and a shiny golden relief medallion.
•  Large solid brass safety pin with the Westwood logo
• Gold-plated medallion relief with the Westwood Orb encircled by "Vivienne Westwood Conduit Street Mayfair London" 
• The other side of the medallion relief reveals the 12 Zodiac signs which surround a celestial maiden holding a flame with the crescent moon, clouds and stars
  
• Iconic 3D Westwood Orb featured with a brass frame and pink translucent resin

Phallic Symbolism: A phallic symbol generally represents male sexual organs, male potency, fertility, and generative power. In some cultures, phallic symbols are used in religious rituals, as amulets, or in architecture to invoke positive energy or ward off evil. In ancient Rome, phallic amulets were worn for good luck and protection against evil or negative influences.
