ANGLOMANIA - VIVIENNE WESTWOOD

The Anglomania collection reinterprets Vivienne Westwood’s iconic shapes for a younger, more casual customer. Its basis is Vivienne Westwood’s fashion career from the 1970’s onwards. Many garments from her past collections are prized and collected as classics. The fashion statement has been so strong that it tells a story which captures the imagination. Anglomania is a concentration of all this inspiration. Its core is the dynamic cut which Vivienne Westwood has pioneered throughout her career.

For Spring/Summer 2009, Anglomania takes its inspiration from Greek antiquity. Draped column dresses in plain and stripy jersey echo Greek statues while a grape print alludes to Bacchanelean festivals. Motifs from vases adorn tee-shirts and dresses. The look is given a twist with touches of 50's couture present in prom dresses and sexy suits. White is a dominant colour with accents of bright red, green, yellow and fuchsia.
