Marc Jacobs, Vivienne Westwood, L'Wren Scott: Charles Dickens on the Runways (PHOTOS)
On his 200th birthday, Charles Dickens has permeated culture high and low. He's the subject of an exhibition at the Morgan Library and Museum, and a film adaptation of Great Expectations is slated for later this year. But his presence has been felt on the runways as well, as designers from New York to Milan cite the author in their Fall/Winter 2012 collections.
