For fall 2023, the legendary designer’s life partner, Andreas Kronthaler, created a collection that paid tribute to the impact Westwood left upon the industry.
Vivienne Westwood’s fall 2023 show, held at the Hotel de la Marine in Paris, was one of the brand’s most emotional yet. As the first presentation from the label since the founder’s passing in December 2022, her life partner and co-designer, Andreas Kronthaler, paid tribute to the legendary designer through archival motifs that pulled from the heritage of the brand.
The show opened with a blouse bearing a print of Westwood’s face, paired with a mini skirt and platform shoes that took inspiration from the sky-high Super Elevated Ghillie heels that Westwood invented. House models who worked with Westwood since the beginning—like the iconic Sara Stockbridge—wore leggings and cardigans inspired from the archives, and shed tears as the show closed.
Westwood was famously an activist, and this collection bore elements of her political history when it came to the materials; the garments were constructed entirely of upcycled fabrics that otherwise would have been waste. “They’re things that are too nice to get rid of,” Kronthaler explained. “They’re sometimes just half the meter of a really nice silk. All I could make was little hot pants, little tailored knickers.
