Its sweeping silhouette, reminiscent of Hayworth's mesmerizing dance moves, embodies the spirit of the 1940s, an era that celebrated bold fashion statements and undeniable femininity.
Born from a Serendipitous Encounter
The creation of the Vivienne Skirt was sparked by a chance encounter at a market stall in Clapham. As the designer browsed the stalls, the legendary Vivienne Westwood, renowned for her ground-breaking fashion designs, expressed her admiration for the skirt, proclaiming, "If I were to wear any of your designs, I would wear this skirt. I absolutely love it. But I have too many clothes so I mustn't!" This serendipitous exchange led to the skirt's rechristening from the "Rita" to the "Vivienne," a testament to its captivating charm and undeniable fashion appeal.

Its elasticated waist ensures a comfortable fit, while its fully lined construction provides a smooth, luxurious drape.

A Symphony of Colours
The Vivienne Skirt is available in a range of versatile hues, each capturing a unique essence. The classic black exudes timeless elegance, while the serene grey offers a touch of sophistication. The baby pink adds a hint of playful femininity, while the peach radiates warmth and charm.
