[Vivienne Westwood is due to launch online at TIME² v.soon!] Starting out in business selling her jewellery designs in Portobello market, style pioneer Vivienne Westwood has come full circle. A former primary school teacher, when Westwood met punk Svengali Malcolm McLaren, the result was an explosion of intellectual anarchy that diverted the course of fashion forever...
From the chaotic early 1970's punk infancy to her modern day re-incarnation as human rights activist and successful international businesswoman, Westwood has kept the essence of the brand intact.
In recent years, the game has been upped with a more commercial vision (heavy on draped dresses, light on PVC bondage-wear) cemented by a loyal celebrity following. Core brand codes including British heritage, punk rock and royalty are stamped with spiky wit into the fabric of every coat, dress, and bag.
From the unmistakable Westwood tartan to the rebellious skull motif and omnipresent squiggle-print, these hallmarks remain the classic symbols that every Westwood fan seeks out. For those wanting a more affordable entry point to the brand, accessories play a crucial part.
Building on the success of the always-popular pearl necklaces and orb rings, newest to the accessory stable are the Vivienne Westwood watches. In partnership with Zeon, the UK’s largest watch manufacturer and distributor, the brand has produced a range of watches that are as spirited and unpredictable as expected, at a reasonable price point of £145-£325.
Keep posted for our new Vivienne Westwood watch range - due to launch online at TIME² very soon!
