Vivienne Westwood Fall 2025 Collection
On the sixth day of Paris Fashion Week, Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood delivered a collection that encapsulates the very essence of the British house: irreverence, theatricality and an undisputed mastery of tailoring. With a clear homage to its heritage and its connection to London, the Fall/Winter 2025 offering balanced rebelliousness with instinctive sophistication.
From the first look, it was clear that Kronthaler continues to explore Westwood’s DNA without fear of experimentation. Exaggeratedly proportioned suits, trousers that turned into wool skirts with asymmetrical falls and monumental trench coats defined an imposing and dramatic silhouette. The message was clear: there is nothing more sensual than well-executed tailoring.
But where the collection really shined was in its ability to mix chaos and control. Velvet and tulle dresses, with strategic padding on the hips and shoulders, redefined femininity through an aristocratic punk prism. Meanwhile, accessories played with irony and excess: contrasting socks, heels wrapped in fur and bags shaped like birdcages brought a provocative nonchalance.
Kronthaler’s farewell was the icing on the cake of a collection that, more than a seasonal proposal, felt like a declaration of intent. With a bouquet of flowers in her hand, thrown to the public in a gesture of celebration, she made it clear that, under her direction, the spirit of Westwood is more alive than ever.
