Vivienne Westwood and her husband,Andreas Kronthaler, celebrate their quarter-century together with a ‘homage’ showA portrait of a marriage was presented at the Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood fashion show in Paris on Saturday, and it wasn’t a conventional one. There were brides wearing ruffled white gowns with thigh-tall lace-up boots,and nuns habits refashioned in chiffon, and models wearing Boudicca breast plates. There were also three young male podium dancers from Leeds on the catwalk who had pink circles scribbled on their faces, or were voguing with wild abandon.
The show was a “homage”,Kronthaler said, to Westwood, and his wife of more than 25 years. In a love letter distributed to guests,he described the designer as “my collaborator, my friend and partner, or my teacher and of course as my muse”,and explained that he had revisited and rethought many of her most eminent creations for the collection.
