VIVIENNE WESTWOOD FASHION SHOWS

Vivienne Westwood is one of the world's most provocative and influential designers: "the only reason I'm involved in fashion is to destroy the word 'conformism'", she once declared. For the past 40 years, she has been shaking up, transforming and challenging the world of fashion. This book brings together her most singular creations since her first show in 1981, as well as those imagined with her husband and long-time collaborator, Andreas Kronthaler. The designer duo write their own biographies, while Alexander Fury presents each collection. The ensemble offers a rare opportunity to go behind the scenes of a highly creative fashion house.

With over 1,100 photographs, this treasure trove of inspiration is an indispensable reference for all fashion professionals and Vivienne Westwood admirers.

In the "Défilés" collection: Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Prada.
