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. For her “Anglomania” Fall-Winter 1993/94 collection, Vivienne designed the infamous McAndreas tartan that she named after Andreas Kronthaler. It was woven by Lochcarron of Scotland and has been received by the Scottish Register of Tartans for permanent preservation in the National Records of Scotland. The Anglomania show that Westwood and Malcolm McLaren – leader of “The Sex Pistols” band, worked on together is, perhaps, one of the most iconic shows of that time. Naomi Campbell fell during the show as she was wearing very high heels – a picture that makes the show truly unforgettable. 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
