VIVIENNE WESTWOOD

 

"Buy less, choose well, make it last". This phrase by Vivienne Westwood shows all her commitment to the environment. A revolutionary and avant-garde designer, Vivenne Westwood is synonymous with nonconformist haute couture, enabled by her creative flair that is inspired by styles and techniques of any era, to read the present in subversive keys. From the creation of punk in the boutique Let it Rock founded in London in 1971, to the rediscovery of corsets and crinolines exhumed from the eighteenth-century costume in the 80s and then moving on to the mini-kilts, tartans and tweeds of the English tradition revived in the 90s: all this and much more is the world of Vivienne Westwood.
