Grand Hotel'Taking reference from the 1932 Greta Garbo film and modelled on the mirrored marble salon in Le Grand Hôtel overlooking the Opera Garnier in Paris, ‘Grand Hotel’ was the first show to include Westwood herself as a model. Westwood employed a diverse set of runway models from men to women and professionals to children to reflect the theatrical idea that a hotel lobby acts as a place of rendezvous for different people and walks of life. ‘Grand Hotel’ continued her own interest in exploring the silhouettes of haute couture; expressed in the sleek satin pyjama suits in stripes, draped gowns and hats that evoked the Riviera and Mid-century inspired tailoring' Alexander Fury, Vivienne Westwood Catwalk
