Vivienne Westwood Unveils 2025 Bridal and Couture Collections: An Ode to Love and Individuality
October 11, 2024
Vivienne Westwood presents the 2025 Couture and Made-to-Order Bridal Collections, a touching statement of love and personal style. Drawing inspiration from Queen Victoria's revolutionary choice of white for her wedding gown and her later commitment to black attire, this collection offers a daring palette of white, black, and white with black detailing, empowering the modern bride to express her unique identity.
Set to debut through exclusive trunk shows across global flagship stores and culminating in Vivienne Westwood's first dedicated bridal runway show at Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week in April 2025, this collection promises to redefine bridal fashion. The Vivienne Westwood Bridal Couture Collection showcases nine gowns that exemplify the house's mastery of craftsmanship and innovative design.
The Helena gown epitomizes fluid elegance, with a single piece of duchesse silk artfully draped around the body.
In striking contrast, the Alexandra challenges convention with its short length, adorned with delicate broken pearls and playful black bow ribbons.
Westwood's signature corsetry shines in the Louise, featuring an exquisite embroidered pearl corset in 'Love Lace' paired with a flowing silk satin skirt. The Ava offers a modern twist with its strapless silhouette and side train, embellished with a broken pearl choker and shoulder piece.
The collection reaches its crescendo with three extraordinary gowns. The Queen captivates with its mini tulle petticoat, accentuated by extravagant bows that cascade down the body. The Marie Antoinette is a vision of layered lace and tulle, crowned with a voluminous train.
Completing the couture lineup, the Olivia boasts three-dimensional organza roses and dramatic sleeves, cinched to create an elegant silhouette.
The 2025 Made-to-Order Bridal Collection builds upon Westwood's iconic foundations, featuring eight new gowns and an array of separates and accessories designed for transformation. The Lace Minerva, inspired by an Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood Spring-Summer 2024 gown, offers a delicate, backless silhouette that skims the floor.
The Mini Bagatelle reinvents a classic silhouette with its cinched waist and full mini skirt.
The Nova Rhea presents a study in contrast with its ivory heavy stretch gown veiled in black tulle.
Sustainability intertwines seamlessly with luxury throughout the collection. Vivienne Westwood showcases its commitment to environmental consciousness through the use of recycled nylon lace, crepe satin sourced through specific forestry standards, and organic double georgette silk. Each piece, meticulously designed, sampled, and hand-crafted in England, underscores the brand's dedication to local artisanship and responsible fashion practices.
The 2025 Bridal Collections will debut with exclusive trunk shows across Vivienne Westwood's global flagship stores. Brides-to-be can experience the collection in Los Angeles (October 10-28), London (October 14-26), New York (November 1-19), Milan (November 4-18), and Paris (November 22 - December 7).
The 2025 Bridal Collections will be available at select Vivienne Westwood boutiques in London, Paris, Milan, New York, and Los Angeles. For those seeking convenience, select made-to-order bridal styles are now also available on viviennewestwood.com, bringing Westwood's iconic bridal fashion to a global audience.
Vivienne Westwood's 2025 Bridal Collections blend tradition with innovation, offering brides a unique palette for self-expression. From avant-garde Couture to versatile Made-to-Order designs, each piece showcases the brand's commitment to sustainability, craftsmanship, and individuality. As Westwood prepares for its Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week debut, it continues to redefine bridal wear, empowering brides to make profound personal statements on their special day.
