Vivienne Westwood<\/a>\u2014the veteran punk of the high fashion world\u2014has always forged her own path. A long-time advocate for sustainability<\/a>, Westwood\u2019s collections come complete with a document outlining the lengths her design team goes to to ethically produce each collection. For Spring\/Summer 2022 that included using 98% cruelty-free materials and banning virgin synthetic fabrics. But her sustainable philosophy runs deeper than that. Bristling against the fashion industry\u2019s feverish obsession with \u2018newness\u2019,\u00a0 Westwood regularly mines her own archives, updating key looks from the past for new seasons, to encourage the relevance of vintage fashion and promote the circular economy.<\/span><\/p>\n

For SS22\u2014which Westwood unveiled in a short film and digital lookbook this afternoon\u2014that meant revisiting her SS98 collection, which <\/span>showed in Paris<\/span><\/a> in September 1997. Westwood tapped Georgia May Jagger and Lily McMenamy\u2014both the offspring of supermodels who walked for Westwood in the \u201880s and \u201890s\u2014to model the new collection, which paid homage to SS97\u2019s maritime theme with its campy use of giant shark\u2019s heads and shipping wheels. As for the clothes themselves? They were quintessential Westwood: corset-style shirting, draped evening dresses, tartan suiting, and cartoonish sculptural shoes. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a genius move from a designer who is still beloved for her signature 80s and 90s silhouettes. Bella Hadid\u2019s endorsement<\/a> of the 90s-era hand-painted \u2018Rococo\u2019 corsets spawned a new generation of Westwood obsessives (a recent iteration <\/span>was auctioned<\/span><\/a> off for \u00a318,000\u2014almost $25,000), as did recent nods from Kim Kardashian, FKA Twigs, and Dua Lipa. Hailey Bieber opted for a Vivienne Westwood reception dress when she married Justin Bieber in 2019. Why not capitalize on the brand\u2019s vintage chops with an archive-inspired collection? Of course, in the hands of a less capable designer plunging the archives of the 90s could be a risk. But that\u2019s the thing about Vivienne Westwood: she felt like the future when she dressed the Sex Pistols in the \u201870s, and she still feels like the future now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26240,"featured_media":35543,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[17,16],"yoast_head":"\nVivienne Westwood Revisits Her '90s Archive
