Exhibition in detail

Tartan

 
Tartan
Westwood’s fascination with Scottish traditions, as source of inspiration and subject of parody, began with Punk and has reoccurred frequently in her collections. Using a mix of different tartans, her ensembles exploit the rich depth, colour and diversity of the traditional checked pattern. The tartans were made to order by Locharron of Scotland, who also created a special design for Westwood called the McAndreas, after Andreas Kronthaler.
