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. THE COLLECTION ITSELF WAS A MIX OF COMMERCIAL READY TO WEAR PIECES, THINK TEES, DENIM MINI SKIRTS, JACKETS, AND KNIT SEPARATES ALONGSIDE ATHLEISURE ITEMS LIKE BIKER SHORTS, TIGHTS, A FUNKY SINGLET, AND WIDE-LEGGED SWEATPANTS, AS WELL AS SWIMWEAR. HOWEVER, THE ASSORTMENT SOMETIMES FELT DISJOINTED, WITH THE INCLUSION OF A MAO SUIT JACKET STANDING OUT AWKWARDLY. 

WHERE THE COLLECTION TRULY SHONE WAS IN ITS SIGNATURE WESTWOOD ELEMENTS. TAILORED JACKETS, CORSETS, PLAID PATTERNS, AND THE QUINTESSENTIAL VIVIENNE SKIRT SUIT DELIVERED THE DISTINCTIVE STYLE THAT FANS ADORE. DRAPED FROCKS AND SPARKLING MINI DRESSES ALSO MADE AN APPEARANCE, CATERING TO THE LABEL’S GROWING CELEBRITY FOLLOWING IN THE U.S., WHERE STARS LIKE TAYLOR SWIFT AND MALIA OBAMA HAVE BEEN SPOTTED IN WESTWOOD CREATIONS.
