About the Collection




The inspiration for Vivie la Cocotte was the 17th century courteasan, Ninon de l' Enclos. Westwood's interest in exaggerating the figure was now taken to the extrme, using both a padded bust and, replacing the bustle cushion, a metal cage which was tied with small bows to a pull-on elastic foundation with suspenders.







This dark grey wool ' Metropolitan' jacket and skirt was based on a Christian Dior suit that Westwood studied in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Nrw York. It is tailored to fit oer the exaggerated from created by Westwood 's cage bustle.
