Vivienne Westwood was the first to bring the corset back to the runway nearly a century after it had fallen out of fashion

On Westwood’s runways, both men and women wore corsets

The return was particularly striking in the Fall-Winter 1990 collection, where the homage to classical art and motifs from François Boucher’s painting "Daphnis and Chloe" captivated the audience

Iconic Looks

The Tatler magazine cover featuring Vivienne Westwood dressed as Margaret Thatcher is one of the boldest and most daring provocations in fashion history

In 1989, the designer appeared on the cover wearing a suit originally ordered for Thatcher from the fashion house Aquascutum, which Westwood had “intercepted.” With a mischievous smirk, she parodied the Iron Lady, sparking debates about power, politics, and fashion

Westwood caused another media frenzy in 1992 when she attended the ceremony for receiving the Order
of the British Empire without wearing any underwear
