The Vivienne Westwood Gold Label Autumn-Winter 2013/14 Show at Paris Fashion Week

Influences come from the 4 corners. Historical and ethnic, structure and 'flou'. This season we visited medieval Europe via the beautiful illustrations in illuminated manuscripts. The return of the crusaders changed England enormously. They brought back luxuries and ideas not only from Italy but from the Arab world. When you go back in time you also enter the future. We have superimposed political graphics from Climate Revolution on our collection; fundamental to which is our support for Greenpeace / for the World to "Save the Arctic".
