Vivienne’s freedom fighters are giving a clear call to action

With a design record spanning over forty years, Vivienne Westwood is now recognized as a global brand and Westwood herself as one of the most influential fashion designers, and activists, in the world today.

The Vivienne Westwood pop up launched at British luxury department store Selfridges London within theDesigner Studio on 3 is an exclusive space designed around Westwood’s Autumn-Winter 2018/19 collection and message.

Vivienne Westwood is one of the last independent global fashion companies in the world. At times thought provoking, this brand is about more than producing clothes and accessories. Westwood continues to capture the imagination, and raise awareness of environmental and human rights issues.

The pop-up is inspired by an army base, with surplus army lockers, emblazoned with Vivienne’s Climate Revolution graphics – a vision of her army, fighting for a free world economy, returning victorious from war against giant corporations and governments who serve themselves over the people and the planet.

Military silhouettes, Harris Tweed tartan and regimental camouflage tones run throughout the collection. Including bright red Melton outerwear, camouflage print in tailoring, shirts and dresses, as well as unisex knitwear in hemp – the most sustainable and body-friendly fabric. Saville row style shirting in colourful folk
stripes, and for evening, an iridescent hammered black silk 18th century style corset.

The pop-up is open until Sunday 9th September 2018, at Selfridges London Designer Studio, located on the 3rd floor.

Vivienne Westwood’s campaign raises awareness for the protection of the unique and fragile Arctic

“Save the Arctic” at Waterloo Station in London.

save the arctic 2015 campaign

Reflecting a growing global call for protection of the unique and fragile Arctic, Greenpeace and Vivienne Westwood recruited 60 celebrities including Kate Moss and George Clooney for a new environmental campaign exhibition in London.

“Save the Arctic” exhibition in London Underground’s Waterloo Station presented 60 photos of iconic faces captured by award-winning photographer Andy Gotts MBE.

“It was John Sauven’s brilliant idea to exhibit the images in Waterloo — using the escalators as a new art space in London — hundreds of people will be able to see the images,” explained the fashion designer.

“People all over the world understand that the Arctic melting will affect us all. If we’re to save it, the time to act is now. There are 7 million people signed up to Save the Arctic, with global public opinion still growing — we need to continue this momentum until it becomes a torrent they can’t afford to ignore.”

All the stare are wearing a Vivienne Westwood’s Save the Arctic organic unbleached cotton t- shirt and all profits from the t-shirts go directly to Greenpeace.

The exhibition runs in the Waterloo Underground station, York Road exit, until Sunday 26 July.
