FOR ITS RETURN TO THE RUNWAY, VIVIENNE WESTWOOD’S SPRING SUMMER 2025 COLLECTION MADE A BOLD STATEMENT BY CLOSING OUT SHANGHAI FASHION WEEK, MARKING THE BRAND’S FIRST CATWALK APPEARANCE SINCE 2019. 

THE LONDON-BASED TEAM BROUGHT WESTWOOD’S SIGNATURE REBELLIOUS SPIRIT TO CHINA, KICKING OFF THE SHOW WITH A GENDER-BENDING TWIST: A MEN’S PINSTRIPE SUIT STYLED WITH SILVER LEATHER PEEP-TOE HEELS, FOLLOWED BY MASC-LOOKING MODELS IN BLACK FROCKS, INCLUDING ONE ACCESSORIZING WITH A BASKETBALL. THIS UNCONVENTIONAL STYLING SERVED AS A REMINDER OF DAME WESTWOOD’S LEGACY AS A COUNTERCULTURAL ICON, BREAKING BOUNDARIES WITH HER PROVOCATIVE DESIGNS.

HIGHLIGHTS IN MENSWEAR INCLUDED A BLACK BLOUSE WITH A RUCHED COLLAR AND A CROPPED DENIM JACKET PAIRED WITH A TINY BLACK HARNESS, EMBODYING THE BRAND’S AVANT-GARDE EDGE.
