Andreas ‘Andreas’ is the collection in which Kronthaler’s Austrian heritage is fully embraced. For this collection, the traditional outfitters Tostmann Trachten executed Kronthaler’s couture interpretation of the dirndl using age-old techniques. The show notes comprised two parts, each written – and signed – by Kronthaler and Westwood, respectively. That underscored how each continued to work across both this and the collections presented in London, formerly titled ‘Red Label’, now simply ‘Vivienne Westwood’. The shared passions of Westwood and Kronthaler were evident, ‘lust, desire, sex and even sadness are best expressed through colours,’ Kronthaler wrote. As is love - hearts were scribbled across many pieces in Westwood’s hand (see A. Fury, Vivienne Westwood Catwalk, London, 2021, p. 580).
