Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne Westwood was founded by designer Vivienne Westwood, one of the most influential and groundbreaking creators in modern fashion. Westwood emerged in 1970s London as a central figure in the punk movement, and together with Malcolm McLaren she developed an aesthetic that challenged norms, broke traditions and transformed fashion history. Her signature fusion of classic British tailoring, rebellious attitude and intellectually driven design quickly became emblematic of the brand.

Vivienne Westwood is renowned for her sculptural silhouettes, asymmetric cuts and historical references, often incorporating corsetry, tartan and draped constructions as defining elements. The brand’s aesthetic is both theatrical and cerebral, always carrying a clear message and a desire to influence contemporary culture. 

Westwood’s work in rediscovering and reinterpreting traditional craftsmanship, particularly British tailoring, has secured her legacy as one of the most respected voices in global fashion. Following her passing in 2022, the fashion house continues to evolve under a dedicated creative team that honours her legacy through both ready-to-wear and accessories.

The iconic Orb logo remains one of the most recognisable symbols in fashion, representing the blend of heritage, futurism and subversive elegance that defines the brand. Each collection balances innovation with tradition, staying true to Westwood’s core principles: provocation, craftsmanship and intellectually driven design.
