Vivienne Westwood – FALL 2021 READY-TO-WEAR
This collection’s refreshed melange starred a print of Daphnis and Chloe, a 1743 painting by François Boucher from the wonderful Wallace Collection that sumptuously pictures a sleeping shepherdess being ogled by a ripped shepherd. This starred across prints on shirting, T-shirts, denim, bodysuits, dresses and a frock-coatish parka, competing with clashing ginghams, stripes, herringbones, and checks. Not unlike Boucher, Westwood is a master at subverting apparent propriety to invoke the truthful and unruly; her signature brushstrokes of drunken tailoring and subversive drape were in full effect here.
