The union of two British Queens—Vivienne Westwood, the reigning icon of British fashion, pays tribute to Queen Victoria in the brand's 2025 Couture and Made-to-Order Bridal collections. A fearless pioneer, Queen Victoria broke tradition by choosing a white wedding dress for her marriage to Prince Albert, setting a new standard that still resonates today. So, it’s only fitting that Vivienne Westwood, a true rule-breaker and trendsetter in her own right, dedicates this new season to the former monarch.
Enchanting Victoria-style silhouettes are reimagined with a contemporary twist, creating a season that embodies modern opulence. The Couture collection explores an air of regality, showcasing dramatic volumes sculpted from panniers, petticoats and drapery, anchored by corsetry that beautifully accentuates the female form. In contrast, the Made-to-Order collection offers a more demure approach, featuring a modern, minimalist interpretation of the era’s signature elements—think elegant draped necklines, playful bubble skirts, dropped waists, gloves and, of course, exquisite corsetry.
Every piece is a testament to masterful craftsmanship, crafted from classic French laces, sculptural taffetas, layers of soft tulle, and luxurious silk satins, completed with thoughtfully adorned details—pearls, bows, and intirguing antique-inspired portrait brooches. Staying true to the brand's rule-breaking spirit, the collection introduces unexpected touches of black, reminiscent of Queen Victoria’s mourning period for her beloved Prince Albert. A heartfelt ode to love: an honor the everlasting vow.
