Vivienne Westwood -- From bringing British punk fashion into the mainstream in the 1970s to her political activism and climate action, Vivienne Westwood’s legacy is set to be influential for many generations to come. The different fashion movements that characterised her career can be clearly divided between 4 different periods: the Punk era in the 70s, the Pagan years in the 80s, Anglomania in the 90s, and the era of social and political activism from the 2000s up to the present day. This vintage piece is from a chapter in fashion rarely found in New Zealand, and adds a quintessentially British flair to any ensemble. Open to reasonable offers. 2000- present The period from the 2000s was characterised not only by the designer’s growing influence in the fashion industry but also by her social and political activism and her battle against climate change. From garments bearing slogans (a wink to her punk days), to runway protests about Brexit, global warming and free speech. From 1993 to 1999, Westwood embraced a new aesthetic of both English and French influences by combining elegant British tailoring with the French love of exaggerated proportions. stwood met Malcolm McLaren – leader of “The Sex Pistols” band, and star VW accessories embody the rebellious spirit the designer championed. Each piece carries the boldness and heritage of Westwood's tartan-infused designs, echoing her love for Scottish cloth and rebellion. With vibrant tartan patterns like the iconic Bruce of Kinnaird & MacAndreas, these accessories aren't just fashion statements—they're rebellious works of art, capturing the essence of a fashion icon's legacy. https://macgregorandmacduff.co.uk/blogs/news/vivienne-westwoods-tartans
