Les Femmes‘A Spring/Summer collection for a woman who knows how to be herself anywhere. For the day, she is inspired by the English tailoring tradition and wears suits, little dresses and knitted twinsets. The accessories, though discreet, bring a little fantasy to the day. All terribly British with, as always, a touch of the unusual. Eighteenth Century English furnishing fabrics inspire the prints on silk and cotton. These are mixed with bold brushes of colour straight from the artist’s palette.’ Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne wears this look from 'Les Femmes' on a 1997 visit to Downing Street with husband and creative partner Andreas Kronthaler, illustrated (see also lot 19). This dress, alongside others in the collection, was inspired by fabric created by 18th century English textile designer Anna Maria Garthwaite that Westwood saw at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. A similar outfit to the present lot from ‘Les Femmes’ is now in The Metropolitan Museum’s collection and features in the current 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion' exhibition, which opened on 10 May 2024 (A. Bolton, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, New York, 2024, p.76).
