Anglomania‘Vivienne Westwood noted: Fashion in Europe has evolved largely from the exchange of ideas between France and England. Drawing inspiration from the 18th-century French craze for British dress – stout tweeds, colourful tartans, and a general mood of practical sobriety viewed as a progressive alternative to the pomp and ceremony of Ancien Régime court attire... Just as the Wallace Collection is an amalgamation of French decorative objects and art viewed through an English eye, so Westwood’s ‘Anglomania’ was filtered through her fresh love of European culture.’ Alexander Fury, Vivienne Westwood Catwalk
