Editor's Note
“Couture must exist alongside mass production” - Vivienne Westwood
Vivienne Westwood’s On Liberty Autumn/Winter 1994 collection was a provocative exploration of individual freedom, inspired by the philosophy of John Stuart Mill. The collection reset modern proportions, distorting traditional tailoring with exaggerated silhouettes, and championing the voluptuous female form through the use of bum pads. Bold, oversized garments paired with punk-inspired accessories challenged conventional fashion norms.
The iconic Liberty prints from London’s famed department store, Liberty, played a key role in the collection, reinterpreted into vibrant fabrics that blended traditional British elements with Westwood’s rebellious spirit. Her belief that “Couture must exist alongside mass production” was a driving force, as she combined high fashion with accessible design. On Liberty solidified Westwood’s status as a visionary, critiquing and celebrating British culture while leaving a lasting impact on the fashion world with its dramatic distortions of proportion and its celebration of both heritage and individuality.
