Vivienne Westwood

Punk? Rebel? British fashion icon? Vivienne Westwood can’t be defined; the designer is all these at once and far more beyond. Though Westwood’s eponymous brand is now a global stalwart, it began in a single shop on the King’s Road in 1971, rejecting the previous decade’s hippie florals and embracing a more risqué aesthetic. Today, that same commitment to provocation lives on in clothing and accessories for men and women. At the centre of it all lies the famous Orb: find it embroidered on Vivienne Westwood T-shirts, jackets and shirts, or detailed in crystals on pendants and brooches – every instance signals a label that respects tradition but pushes confidently forward into the future.
