Today, at the ready-to-wear presentation at Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2025-26, Andreas Kronthaler, Westwood's widower, showed us a facet with a beautiful nod to the love of his life. The ever-remembered Vivienne Westwood appeared in winks within the diverse and contrasting collection with the use of raw materials and silhouettes reminiscent of her most emblematic pieces.

You can't think of Vivienne Westwood without tartan, crinolines, irregular draping, and punk styling. In this Fall/Winter 2025-26 presentation, the brand merges with fine tailoring patterned in layers full of textures rich in bold prints, taking the firm to a modernity focused on simple lines executed to perfection.

Shining for the attitude of the garments, styling was an elemental part of this collection. The unfailing "touch" was the bags in the form of bird cages, hats superimposed in layers, Scottish socks, and exaggerated bouquets of flowers in the, already indispensable, Westwood wedding dress. A corset dress hypnotic for its qualities and Renaissance colors, as it felt trapped in time and always in motion.

Andreas Kronthaler has put all his effort into maintaining his partner's vision while navigating the brand towards the future. It feels safe, present, and more alive than ever.
