Vivienne Westwood UK
APHRODITE CORSETED DRESS
Vivienne Westwood Spring-Summer 2023 Bespoke Collection
This draped corseted dress in silk chocolate brown satin chiffon, accompanied with gold crystal net, is a contemporary interpretation of the original silver crystal ‘Cocotte’ bridal dress from the Spring-Summer 1998 ‘Tied to The Mast’ collection. The skirt is created from just one seamless panel of crystal net, which creates a flattering line. It was first presented in the 2022 Bridal collection and worn by Lupita Nyongo, at the Black Panther Premiere in Africa, Lagos, Nigeria.
