VIVIENNE WESTWOOD, 'PAGAN V' COLLECTION, SPRING-SUMMER 1990
A PINK FLOCK VELVET CORSET BODICE AND FLORAL CHIFFON BLOUSE
The corset boned to the front in the 18th century style; the cream chiffon blouse printed with knots of flowers, Gold LabelThe Estate of Vivienne Westwood will donate 100% of the total hammer proceeds received for the sale of her personal wardrobe, less auction expenses, to be split equally between The Vivienne Foundation, Médecins Sans Frontières (a charity registered in England and Wales with charity number 1026588) and Amnesty International (registered in England and Wales with charity number 1051681).This is the first appearance in Vivienne’s wardrobe of one of her iconic staples - the corset. She is known to have studied extant period corsets in great detail in museum collections. Her innovations were to replace the whalebone or metal stays with flexible plastic and to replace linen with stretch lycra. She loved what wearing a corset did to the female form. ‘And this corset we made: it is really, really sexy. Low-cut. That it was pushing – that’s what those corsets did, they pushed the breasts up. And people just loved it. Three sizes were all we ever needed. It was adored a real wave-the-flag moment of euphoria’…‘Stretch fabric changes everything- hence the name, Stature of Liberty. It gave breasts back a look they hadn’t had in generations. And I loved that it was taken up everywhere else – Gaultier in particular. I loved what he did, it was brilliant’ (V. Westwood and I. Kelly,
Vivienne Westwood, London, 2014, p. 295). ‘Old world culture and historical costuming reimagined for the modern woman and man’ as Ian Kelly wrote (
ibid. p.146).
