Vivienne Westwood and Burberry launch collaborative collection

Burberry and Vivienne Westwood have finally unveiled their collaborative
collection. Available online on Burberry’s website and select Burberry
stores worldwide, the collection features some of Westwood’s most iconic
designs, such as double-breasted jackets and kilts, reimagined in
Burberry’s signature plaid.

An eclectic range of celebrities participate in the advertising campaign
to promote the collaboration, including supermodel Kate Moss, actor Andy
Bradin, writer and performer LadyFag, model Claudia Lavender, and
footballer Marco Motta, to name but a few. All of them were shot by the
acclaimed British photographer David Sims.

The collection includes a T-shirt with a handwritten message from
Westwood: “Cool Earth has a plan to save the rainforest”. Proceeds from
this T-shirt will be donated to Cool Earth, the UK-based non-profit
organisation that aims to fight deforestation and climate change around the
world. Westwood is also set to customize four items from the collection and
auction them to raise money for the charity.

This partnership with Westwood marks Burberry’s first collaboration
since the appointment of Riccardo Tisci for the role of Creative Director.
He’s been working hard to take the British fashion house towards a fresh
new direction. After giving it a new logo and monogram, Tisci announced
monthly product drops available for purchase exclusively on Instagram and
WeChat.
