Vivienne on the sofa

Until January 20, 2008, Milan’s Palazzo Reale is hosting a retrospective dedicated to Vivienne Westwood.

Until January 20, 2008, Milan’s Palazzo Reale is hosting a retrospective dedicated to Vivienne Westwood. With her fashion debut at the age of 30 in London in 1971, she was the “official designer” of the Punk movement (collecting fines for indecent exposure and being arrested for vilification of the Queen in 1977 after accompanying the Sex Pistols singing God Save the Queen). Her exceptional creative verve in the ’80s took her to catwalks all over the world.

Her clothes have always stemmed from a subversive idea of costume while using symbols, geometry and materials to reflect the designer’s commitment to social and political themes, centred on female anatomy and the accessory as an erotic appendage. On show are numerous garments and videos of fashion shows. Sponsors of the event include Molteni & C who have presented a collection of sofas with fabrics by the designer.cSilvia Monaco
