Reminiscing on Vivienne Westwoods S/S94 show on what would have been her birthday ❤️
The fashion show is a particular phenomenon, its conception often extending far beyond the garments themselves. It is the only chance a designer has to communicate their complete vision; for a few moments, they hold press and buyers captive, suspended within their world. A carefully curated show or presentation can operate as the truest reflection of a creative vision and yet, once the spectacle is over and a designer takes their bow , months of preparation can quickly be resigned to the past.
A development of her 80s collections that incorporated the "mini-crini" , Westwood's Cafe Society show used tassels, corsetry and crochet to turn her models into Elizabethan showgirls, prancing along to music hall orchestration in a subversive parody of historic feminine conventions.
Westwood's subversion of the conventions of oppression, exploiting them into modes of empowerment, is something that has provoked a legacy that can be seen throughout contemporary fashion collections.
