The Vivienne Foundation has begun its first election campaign since the death of Vivine West Wood’s designer in 2022, including Kate Moss, the Irish Group of the Fontaines DC and a collection of figures from all over fashion, music and art.
The campaign has been photographed by British Fashion photographer Nick Knight, known as the legendary magazine such as May 2003 Vogue.
This is the first project from the Vivienne Foundation-the non-profit founded by the Westwood family in 2019, which was officially launched in 2023.
Its purpose is to continue West Wood’s legacy and commitment to work, creativity and human rights.
The organization is built in about four “columns of change”: stopping climate change, stopping war, defending human rights, and protesting capitalism. Through these columns, the foundation says that its purpose is to cooperate with benefactors, NGOs and public movements to promote education, awareness and actions in the real world.
The new campaign introduces a capsule of four t -shirts with a limited version, each with a Westwood archive print that shows one of the reasons for the foundation.
These designs include some of Westwood’s most well -known and explicit graphics – among them “Teddy Bear”, “Cowboys” and “Youth” that have appeared in various parts of the seventies.
The limited T -shirts of the campaign are priced at £ 150 each and are founded in charity.
This Knight shooting includes the grandson of West Wood West Corre Corre, which founded the foundation by wearing shirts.
These photos repeat the occasional and unconventional energy that has long been associated with Westwood fashion campaigns.
Knight and Westwood repeatedly worked together throughout their lives, and their participation produced some of the most memorable designer images.
The campaign has been anchored by one of Westwood Wood Wood quotes:
“Stop changing the weather. It is a struggle for the human race. And that planet. The most important weapon we have is public opinion. Get a freedom fighter.”
This statement shows the main themes of his career: art and fashion as a form of resistance.
Westwood often used his sect’s collections and prominence to highlight social and political reasons, including climate justice, anti -consumerism and civil rights.
Correre, who appears alongside Moss, said in a statement that the foundation is seeking “continuing my grandmother’s work – to use creativity as a force to change”.
Knight said the campaign described the campaign as “continuing his belief that fashion can influence ideas as well as aesthetics, with the aim of” taking power, humor and belief that defines the view of the world “.
Westwood, who died in December 2022 at the age of 81, was one of Britain’s most influential fashion figures.
He helped Sex in the appearance and soul of Punk through his king’s boutique.
His initial designs challenged the torn shirts, latex cranberries and political slogans-inspired by a full generation of designers and musicians.
In the following decades, Westwood was recognized not only for his distinct sewing and historical sources but also for his explicit political views.
He was the primary defender of environmental awareness in the fashion industry, long before it became a mainstream and consistently used his context to campaigns on issues such as climate change, over -consumption and human rights.
The launch of the Viviente Foundation ensures that activity is essential to his heritage.
By bringing together artists, fighters, and fighters in the fields, the foundation is to translate the lifelong philosophy of Westwood Woodwood – that fashion and protest can be coexist.
While the designer showed the end of the period, the first campaign of the foundation shows that his message from creative resistance is still resonating and seeking to keep Wood Wood’s lasting call alive.
