LONDON -- Nothing lends a certain je ne sais quoi to an outfit more than a bejewelled penis brooch.

And, Vivienne Westwood -- Britain's queen of anarchy -- has got you covered for all your penis-shaped accessory needs.

At Vivienne Westwood's show at London Fashion Week, the designer dropped a casual penis bombshell into the mix by adding glitzy penis brooches to classic men's tailoring.

The brooches are pretty discreet. From afar, one might assume that you're wearing a classy suit. But, up close, there's no denying: that's definitely a dick -- albeit a glittery one.

Metallic, coloured penis safety pins were also out in force.

Nicely done, Vivienne. Nicely done.
