One of this century’s greatest fashion designers was undoubtedly the late Vivienne Westwood. And just recently, over 200 pieces of clothing from her wardrobe were now put up for sale.
Christie’s is hosting the auction, wherein all items have been hand picked by her widower and creative director from her personal wardrobe. All the money will go to organizations that Miss Westwood supported and advocated for which are:
- The Vivienne Foundation
- Amnesty International
- Doctors Without Borders
- Green Peace
The items being sold spans over 40 years and contains some clothing that help put together her most iconic designs.
“Vivienne Westwood’s sense of activism, art, and style is embedded in each and every piece that she created. The pre-sale exhibition and auctions at Christie’s will celebrate her extraordinary vision with a selection of looks that mark significant moments not only in her career, but also in her personal life. This will be a unique opportunity for audiences to encounter both the public and the private world of the great Dame Vivienne Westwood, and to raise funds for the causes in which she so ardently believed.” said by Adrian Hume-Sayer, Christie’s collections director.
The legendary designer sadly passed away in 2022, yet her legacy lives on and is thriving even in these modern times.. Her work has inspired many including comics, which proves her timeless creativity and fashion.
