Vivienne Westwood launches pop-up at Selfridges

Fans of British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood can get a hold of
her Autumn-winter 2018/19 collection at a new pop-up at Selfridges, the
London department store. Set to run between August 13 and September 9, the
retail space will also offer customers the chance to customize their items
with exclusive patches featuring Westwood’s hand drawings.

“The
pop-up is inspired by an army base, with surplus army lockers, emblazoned
with Vivienne’s Climate Revolution graphics — a vision of her army,
fighting for a free world economy, returning victorious from war against
giant corporations and governments who serve themselves over the people and
the planet”, said Selfridges in a statement.

The war theme is also
apparent in the clothes, which feature military silhouettes, Harris Tweed
tartan and regimental camouflage. The store also offers Westwood’s unisex
knitwear collection in hemp.
