Not like most memorials, black wasn’t essentially the usual when it got here to the service honoring Dame Vivienne Westwood on Thursday. The costume code for the occasion was impressed by a quote from the designer: “When unsure, costume up,” and the friends didn’t disappoint. Designers, fashions, socialites, and extra gathered at Southwark Cathedral in London to honor the late designer of their Westwood finest. Many wore designs by the deceased, flanked in tartan, corset, and voluminous skirts. Actor Richard E. Grant particularly wore a veiled hat gifted to him by Westwood when he performed a personality impressed by the designer within the 1994 movie, Prêt-à-Porter. Westwood’s now-iconic orb brand was extraordinarily prevalent on the occasion, seen on the necklaces, pins, and luggage of service-goers. It was as a lot a retrospective of Westwood’s profession as a service honoring her passing.
