This unique exhibition showcases some of Vivienne Westwood’s most recognisable works from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, on loan to Barnard Castle Museum from private collector Peter Smithson. Shown in the Fashion and Textile Galleries, the exhibition explores the inspiration Westwood drew from sittings in paintings, portraiture and the materials and techniques used by artists, and examines how she reflected this in her work. The details in her work highlight pieces from the museum’s collection, showing the inspiration the grand dame of fashion drew from the art and interiors of London’s Wallace Collection, marking the midpoint of a particularly creative period for the designer. The museum has also worked with Northumbria University to bring Westwood’s pattern-cutting techniques to life in a video, showing how she created her iconic garments, which continue to inspire creatives today. Experience the late designer’s golden decade of design, with her garments displayed in never-before-exhibited museum objects.
