VIVIENNE WESTWOOD - SFILATE

Sixth volume of the prestigious 'Runways' series, created in close collaboration with the archives of the respective fashion houses, here is the first complete overview of Vivienne Westwood's women's collections, from the debut show in 1981 to today. This treasure trove of inspiration features over 1100 looks (including hairstyles, makeup, jewelry, and accessories), designed by the stylist and worn by the world's most famous top models, from Kate Moss to Naomi Campbell, during the historic shows of the fashion house. 'I work in fashion only because I want to destroy the word 'conformity',' declares Vivienne Westwood at the end of the seventies, when she is mainly known for her punk creations. Her provocative motto already echoes in the 'Pirate' collection of 1981, the first one she brings to the catwalk and that will make her a prominent figure in the fashion world, capable of deeply influencing it while remaining true to her beliefs and her ecological activism.
