Vivienne Westwood: I had already designed this collection before Covid: small, existential and essential, our model for the future.
A red and white check jittery fabric sheath dress. Union Jack windswept draped strapless dress, banana trouser suit and crutch mini.
Stiff upper lip: rugby shouldered DB, khaki linen hobble skirt worn with sky blue oversized shirt, or – shirt can be a mini dress – Unisex.
A jaded jade green moiré with swirling watermarks on corsets, mini bomber; pretty tea ceremony dresses sprigged with flowers, mint green satin waspy dress.
Fine mercerised white cotton jersey, tailored. Cotton is a precious fabric. Likewise: the sexiest evening dress in black cotton jersey.
Winkle picker winged stilettoes and sandals; diamante and pink ballet satin. Winkle picker boots; diamante and flower print cotton.
Vivienne Westwood: Save the world Let fashion find its own way: Buy only what you need Quality vs Quantity.
