Vivienne Westwood<\/em><\/span><\/strong> is known for always being at the forefront of cultural trends, becoming one of the most original and influential designers of our time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The designer is largely responsible for bringing modern punk and new wave fashions into the mainstream. Vivienne Westwood\u2019<\/strong>s designs were independent and represented a statement of her own values. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vivienne Westwood<\/strong>\u2018s early years were shaped by the Pirate Collection<\/span> of 1981, followed by the Pagan Years<\/span> from 1988 until 1992, a time period where the designer\u2019s muses went from punks to Tatler girls wearing clothes that parodied the upper class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pagan Years<\/span> were followed by Anglomania<\/span>, 1993-1999, this collection showcased Vivienne Westwood<\/strong>\u2018s belief that fashion is a combination and exchange of ideas between England and France. In 2000 came the Exploration<\/span> collection, which returned to a more asexual cut, exploring the natural dynamic of the fabric by treating it like a living mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vivienne Westwood<\/strong>, alongside The Rug Company,<\/strong> developed a rug collection called Establishment<\/span><\/strong>, a playful mix of British fabrics combined with the sheer eccentricity which characterises the designer. This collection has iconic rugs and cushions featuring some of Vivienne Westwood<\/strong>\u2018s most-loved prints, including the Union Flag and signature orb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Vivienne<\/a>
Magnolia Ice Wool & Silk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Magnolia motif first appeared in Westwood\u2019s Autumn Winter 2000\/01 collection, the first in the long-running \u2018Exploration\u2019 theme. There are three plump blooms on each hand-knotted rug. This version of the Magnolia design has a Tibetan wool background with silk flowers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Vivienne<\/a>
Thistle Pewter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Thistle Pewter modern rug is a gesture to Vivienne\u2019s affinity with Scotland; an abstract graphic of the regal milk thistle. The beautiful design is hand-knotted with silk yarns on a Tibetan wool background, pairing dove grey and gunmetal tones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Vivienne<\/a>
Regalia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Regalia is inspired by the pomp of ceremonial dress, layered sashes of regal colours interlock to create a beautifully turned out design that elevates any occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Vivienne<\/a>
VW Flag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The iconic \u2018VW Flag\u2019 motif was first provocatively modelled as a bridal stole in the Autumn\/Winter 02\/03 \u2018Anglophilia\u2019 collection. The raggedy worn-out and possibly blood-soaked original flag is precisely reproduced in very fine handwoven wool tapestry, which can be used on the floor or as a hanging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
