Seeing a bride wearing a Vivienne Westwood can only remind us of her, her that we loved madly, who?

But of course, Carrie Bradshaw, in “Sex and the City”, wearing her gorgeous Vivienne Westwood. This is to say that Ms. Westwood’s brides always do a certain effect.


The new Bridal 2022 line signed by the designer is certainly no less. Elegant and strong figures parade on the catwalk, inspired by the heroines and icons of all times.
The line is divided into three Made-to-Order capsules, Couture and Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood.

Made-to-Order is one of the three capsules present in the Bridal 2022 collection, the idea is that of the new beginning, which develops through three-dimensional figures, transparent fabrics and transformative elements. The cuts create ethereal looks and the corsets, covered with tulle, show a romantic character.

The floral details convey the idea of ​​rebirth, the starting engine of line; three-dimensional flowers characterize the corset of the Venus mini dress, while

the long Rhea dress is identified through the floral embroidery and the cascade of ivy, on the transparent body. Made-to-Order consists of 15 dresses and 9 separate styles in luxurious fabrics and finishes. The fabrics are low environmental impact, recycled ivory tulle and certified viscose FSC as a vegan alternative to silk.

Vivienne Westwood not only emphasizes the use of low-impact fabrics environmental, but also on forms of sustainable production that help support the specialized work of tailors and local communities. The Bridal collections are designed, made and sampled by hand in England, through British tailoring techniques.


What’s more, Vivienne Westwood’s tailor team offers a new service, which it has the purpose of transforming, after the wedding, the dress by eliminating waste and giving it new life to fabrics. The clothes through dyes, alterations of shapes, embroidery or applications are transformed into timeless garments, suitable for any occasion.

Through this practice, reuse is encouraged and waste, inherent in the capitalist society is fought. Only Vivienne Westwood could have allowed the world to wear a wedding dress on any day.
She is an eternal punk and rebellious soul.
