#Iridescent translucent fabric archive

This design takes inspiration from an archive jersey look, originally worn by Jerry Hall in the Spring-Summer 1999 Gold Label collection titled - La Belle Helene. This gown is also available in colour Stardust Blush, Midnight Blue, Ultra Black and Borealis Green. The remaining 3% of the fabric is elastane. We also partner with Canopy to support their goal of protecting the world’s forests by working to eliminate Ancient and Endangered Forests from wood fibre sourcing for fabrics and packaging. This guarantees wood fibre used in fabrics we source come from FSC™ certified forests that have been audited by a third-party on their environmental, social and economic standards. The train can be lengthened and the long tapered sleeves, which are finished with a row of fabric covered buttons, can be shortened as preferred.Īvailable in a pearl white stretch drape satin, which comprises 79% acetate and 18% viscose certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). The Astral features an inner bralette corset, with the option to tuck the drapery to create a subtle heart-shaped neckline, which can be worn on or off the shoulder. Employing an advanced pattern cutting technique, one unique piece of seamless fabric is used to create the bodice and sleeves, cleverly draped and tucked to create the voluminous shoulders and ruching across the bodice.

This gown takes inspiration from an archive jersey look, originally worn by Jerry Hall in the Spring-Summer 1999 Gold Label collection titled - La Belle Helene. Select gowns, available in colour for 2023, give brides the option of a timeless dress for all occasions, prioritising longevity and wearability for future generations. The collection is designed, sampled and hand-crafted locally in England. Lower-impact fabric options include tulle, sequins, lace and taffeta certified as recycled and an FSC-certified viscose and acetate crepe satin, georgette and stretch satin. The colour palette – silvery whites, iridescent blush pinks and golds, inspired by the nebulas, are contrasted by rich reds, aquamarine and sapphire blue giving the made-to-order collection an enigmatic feel. Sweeping necklines and distinct drapery define the collection – ethereal trains, capes and long line boleros orbit the silhouette, and textures of sequin, rich heavy satin and metallic embellishments give the collection an astral luminosity. The Vivienne Westwood 2023 made-to-order bridal collection presents twelve gowns, taking inspiration from the night sky – the shapes, colours and explosions of the cosmos.
