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.
