The fashion world came together to honor a legendary icon - Vivienne Westwood. A-listers like Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss and Marc Jacobs gathered alongside Stormzy and Hong Kong's Wyman Wong for the touching memorial ceremony in celebration of her punk spirit that revolutionized haute couture forevermore.
Vivienne Westwood shook up fashion in the 70s with her unique androgynous designs & cheeky slogan T-shirts that challenged the status quo. Her style set a new standard of self expression in the industry! She was a pioneer of fashion and pushed the envelope in her designs throughout her career. Her creative take on tradition, like the “mini-crini” – an iconic twist on the Victorian crinoline dress - made waves with trendsetters everywhere; most famously when it graced Carrie Bradshaw's bridal look in the Sex & The City movie. The designer also used her influence as an activist, joining public protests to raise awareness about issues that she was passionate about.
Vivienne Westwood's star-studded sendoff was a truly regal affair, with an iconic lineup of musical talent and Hollywood royalty like Elle Fanning, Christina Hendricks, and Vanessa Redgrave showing up to honor the trendsetting dame's legacy. It proved a fitting tribute to one of fashion's most beloved names. The memorial service took place in London on Thursday to honor Westwood's legacy.
