The Vivienne Westwood Gold Label Spring-Summer 2015 Show at Paris Fashion Week

With a touch of magic, a feeling of fairy tales and a campaign to protect the planet, our Spring-Summer 2015 Gold Label collection tells an enchanting story. Inspirations include Frederick Worth, the ‘father of haute couture’. Worth’s influence can be seen in our silhouettes; particularly on dresses, skirts and the tailored pieces of the collection. With a similar aesthetic, the Dangerous Liaisons coat, from our AW95/96 Gold Label show, has been re-visited in silk cotton taffeta with lace embroidery - adding to the historical feel. Prints reference the Wallace Collection, our anti-fracking campaign and a harlequin pattern, and the hair and make-up was inspired by Victorian dolls and children. While the use of the fig leaf represents Adam and Eve, who Vivienne and Andreas play in a film for End Ecocide - which supports the protection of ecosystems. This campaign was the main message we wanted to communicate with this show. Music written & produced by Dominik Emrich / The Belleville Boy
