Vivienne Westwood is known for her political assertions through fashion. From her resistance to corporate powers to her passionate outlook on climate change, each of Vivienne Westwood’s pieces emit a message and the Autumn/Winter 2016 menswear collection is no different.
Aside from the mainstream appeal of the more essential Vivienne Westwood pieces – for example, our three button shirts and crew neck jumpers are always immensely popular – her more unusual, statement making additions shouldn’t be overlooked, after all, it is this ability to turn-heads which is what gives Vivienne Westwood her edge.
Since Vivienne Westwood launched the War/Peace t-shirt in support of climate refugees, the ready to wear collection has continued to grow. Having been modelled by notable names, from band members of indie-rock band The Vaccines, to Naomi Campbell, the collection is ethical and stylish.

The AW16/17 Man collection stresses Vivienne’s concern with ‘criminal politicians’. The campaign incorporates references to the Criminal, the peasant, the Joker, and the roles they play in society. Vivienne Westwood explains the role of each character:
“The Criminals is a representation of the politicians who wields power over the peasants, using the Joker as a pawn in his plans. He is elegant and cunning in his tailored suits and bold silhouettes.
The Peasants appear in loose draping and shapes, natural rustic colours that embody the innocent and rugged elegance of the medieval public. They characterise the naïve and unsuspecting public in today’s society.
For the Jokers they are the pawn in the criminal’s game embodying the medieval court Jester in slim, cropped and playful silhouettes. You will find children’s drawings and colourful prints throughout this character representing the irony and innocence of this character.”
