A multi-gallery exhibition honouring one of fashion’s most provocative and imaginative designers.
Spanning the early 1980s to 2000s, this exhibition charts Westwood’s journey following her punk rebellion with Malcolm McLaren to her reinvention of historical dress and couture. Featuring rarely seen pieces from private collections, the exhibition offers an unprecedented glimpse into Westwood’s artistry. Calico toiles, deconstructed garments and complete ensembles are displayed chronologically alongside historic objects from The Bowes Museum’s collection, making this its most expansive showcase of Westwood to date — a fusion of rebellion with tradition.
