VIVIENNE WESTWOOD Fall/Winter 1997-1998

Vivienne Westwood's Fall/Winter 1997-1998 collection, titled "Five Centuries Ago," was a theatrical ode to the Tudor and Jacobean eras, channeling the grandeur of historical portraiture into avant-garde fashion. Drawing inspiration from the works of Hans Holbein, the collection reimagined Elizabethan opulence through a rebellious, modern lens. High, structured collars framed models' faces like living portraits, while exaggerated sleeves and voluminous skirts echoed the silhouettes of 16th-century nobility. Corsetry—a hallmark of Westwood’s design language—played a central role, with boned bodices sculpting the waist and enhancing dramatic hourglass shapes. Slashed skirts revealed garter belts and suspenders, subverting the propriety of period dress with a playful dose of seduction. The runway was a spectacle in itself. Models like Alek Wek embodied Westwood’s vision of regal defiance, walking with bold confidence in opulent gowns, oversized coats, and sharply tailored suits. Accessories like large chokers and extravagant headpieces only heightened the courtly drama. What made this collection unforgettable was Westwood’s ability to time-travel through fashion. Her fusion of 16th-century aristocracy with late '90s irreverence offered a fresh perspective on luxury, power, and sensuality. It wasn't just a fashion show — it was a living history lesson, taught by one of fashion’s greatest rebels. For more articles and videos go to sevenonethreemag.com   / 713mag
