Vivienne Westwood's Fashion ExhibitionAn arresting array of more than 150 garments and accessories, from the gloriously elegant to the rebelliously provocative, by the iconoclastic fashion designer Vivienne Westwood will be showcased in this spirited and engaging exhibition.
The work, created over 35 years, encompasses styles from the street style of the 1970s to grand ball gowns whose designs were influenced by historical art and dress, to the more recent exploration of pattern-cutting techniques and socio-political critique.
Organized by the V&A, London, the exhibition is the largest display that the museum has ever dedicated to a British designer and features designs selected from both the V&A's collection and Vivienne Westwood's personal archive.
The San Francisco showing, the only North American venue thus far, is the culmination of a three-year international tour of eight European, Asian, and Pacific Rim venues.
