A Personal Collection of Vivienne Westwood Shoes

Date: Thursday13 May – 
Saturday 17 July
Time: Daily
Free admission


 

A Personal Collection of Vivienne Westwood Shoes; this ultimate indulgence shows how a private collector has built this collection over the last 15 years, choosing them for their innovative attitude towards design and most importantly their passion.

This collection of shoes by Vivienne Westwood, best known as the creator of punk and new wave fashions and for opening the Sex boutique in the 1970s with Malcolm McLaren, spans the decades from the 1970’s and includes some classic examples of the innovation and passion inherent in the designer. The black ‘spike’ SEX shoe, the ‘hammerhead’ trainer, the ‘pirate boot’ the limited edition collection with Nine West and the recent mass market collaboration with the Brazilian company Melissa, clearly demonstrates that she remains the undisputed Queen of British fashion.
