Vivienne Westwood
Vivienne Westwood is a British fashion brand known for its bold, avant-garde designs and its pioneering influence on the punk and new wave fashion movements. Founded by Dame Vivienne Westwood and her then-partner Malcolm McLaren in the 1970s, the brand has been at the forefront of innovative and rebellious fashion ever since.
Westwood's early designs challenged traditional fashion norms with their punk-inspired, provocative aesthetic. Her iconic punk clothing shop, "SEX," in London, was a focal point of the punk scene, featuring clothing adorned with safety pins, bondage-inspired garments, and provocative graphic prints. This period marked the birth of punk fashion, and Vivienne Westwood became a key figure in the movement.
In the years that followed, Westwood continued to push boundaries, evolving her style into more diverse and eclectic collections. Her designs often incorporate historical and cultural references, blending them with her own unique vision. She has also been a vocal advocate for environmental and social causes, incorporating sustainability into her fashion ethos.
The brand offers a wide range of clothing, accessories, and footwear, all characterized by Westwood's signature flair for bold colors, unconventional silhouettes, and unexpected combinations of materials. Her iconic orb logo is a symbol of the brand's distinct identity.
