Clothing is expression without explanation. It influences how you're seen and how you see yourself. Patterns of taste, mood, discipline, excess, and restraint repeat across time and culture. This is our guide to making that language visible.

Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood

Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood is the house's premier avant-garde line. It merges historical corsetry with punk subculture and gender-fluid silhouettes. The brand emphasizes artisanal craftsmanship and environmental activism, maintaining a rebellious ethos that challenges traditional luxury standards through theatrical and experimental design.

Fashion History

Originally known as the Vivienne Westwood Gold Label, the line was renamed in 2016 to acknowledge Kronthaler’s long-term creative contributions. Kronthaler, Westwood’s husband and collaborator since the late 1980s, assumed primary design leadership for this collection. This shift marked a significant evolution in the brand's history, formalizing a partnership that defined the house's transition from 1970s punk origins to a global high-fashion entity focused on sustainability and heritage.
