Christmas like Dame Westwood

Autumn-winter 1993 / Falling, falling like snow.

Christmas morning and it feels like browsing old fashion collections for hours. Vivienne Westwood‘s 90s shows surprisingly (or rather not) feel extremely festive – literally, wish you look like Kate or Naomi, all dressed up in Dame Viv’s crotchet, platform shoes and layers of fur. An alternative, Christmas-themed break-down of Westwood’s style codes – you’re welcome.

Autumn-winter 1995 / When the fireplace is not enough and you drown in your aunt’s felt blankets.

Autumn-winter 1993 / Making an entrance like an eff-ing dame.

Autumn-winter 1995 / I’m cool with wearing my grandma’s knit thingie. once. a. year.

Autumn-winter 1995 / ‘So, who was good enough this year to receive a fetch scarf that will match your fancy beanie I gave you the last year?’

Autumn-winter 1993 – Keeping it classy. I don’t care about Christmas mood, nah.

Autumn-winter 1993 / Baby it’s cold outside, you know.

Autumn-winter 1993 / Another blanket outfit worth investigating.

Autumn-winter 1995 / Alternative Santa look, darling!

Autumn-winter 1995 / The one who got far too many presents.

Autumn-winter 1993 / Bad, bad girl look.

Autumn-winter 1994 / When you realise a human impersonator of Jingle-Bell exists.

Autumn-winter 1994 / Wrapping gifts queen.

Autumn-winter 1995

More of these brilliant fur looks.

Autumn-winter 1995 / Pre-family dinner, hears something mean ’bout her appearance. Thinks of something savage, shady, yet refined to say during the actual dinner.

Autumn-winter 1995 / ‘Christmas is the perfect occasion to show off’. Hot tip – don’t throw away the present-package ribbons. Reuse!

Autumn-winter 1993 / I’m out of here.

Franca Sozzani, the editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia, passed away yesterday after a year of struggling with a sickness.

28 years ago, she became the editor-in-chief of quite forgotten and dusty Italian edition of Vogue, bringing pulsing energy, erotic seduction and provoking ideas to the again desired pages. Throughout her career, Sozzani invited cult photograohers and stylists, like Tim Walker, Steven Meisel, Joe McKenna or Paolo Roversi, to work on the editorials, and most of all, the non-chalant, yet refined image of Italian Vogue. She was often called the “gold-mine of creativity”, for a reason.

Let’s look back at small part of archival shots and editorials that were done under Sozzani.
