On January 9th, the final day of London Men's Fashion Week, Vivienne Westwood held a show. Titled "ECOTRICITY," this season's collections featured both men's and women's collections. While addressing the issue of global warming, they also delivered a strong message about enjoying fashion for a long time. The show featured a young woman from a privileged background and a man who should have had many opportunities in life. They share a love of Vivienne Westwood and enjoy unisex fashion, exchanging clothes with each other. The base of the look was a suit consisting of a jacket and pants. The boxy silhouettes and power shoulders evoked a nostalgic vibe from the 1980s and early 1990s. However, the combinations were far from classic, instead conveying a free-spirited, avant-garde update. The front was cut off in a zigzag pattern, a ribbed knit sweater was substituted for a miniskirt, and a cape was worn instead of a jacket. The free-spirited and bold designs utilized the brand's distinctive cutting techniques, a strength of the brand.
The patchwork and patchwork knitwear evoked the concept of eco-friendliness, which is also this season's theme. These impactful looks were further spiced up with punchy accessories such as shiny metallic boots and polka dot socks.
By "buying only what you need, choosing wisely and making things last," we can limit the exploitation of natural resources. Vivienne Westwood, as a company, expressed its commitment to working for the global environment, and at the same time, through this beautiful collection, it seemed to be admonishing us that each and every one of us must change our behavior.
