Vivienne Westwood & Jewellery Book

‘Vivienne Westwood & Jewellery’ is the first book dedicated to the designer’s jewellery creations, created in close collaboration with the house and written by fashion critic, Alexander Fury. ‘Safety-pins piercing faces, pearl chokers and droplet earrings borrowed from Elizabethan portraits, bondage chains and sado-masochistic buckled cuffs and dog-collars, crowns, medallions and bejewelled regal orbs; the jewellery vocabulary of Vivienne Westwood is as distinct and immediately recognisable as that of her clothing,’ explains the author and renowned fashion editor. This lavish encyclopaedia of Vivienne Westwood jewellery evokes the blend of luxury and rebellion that is the house’s signature style. Whether a skilfully rendered safety-pin brooch, a hand-strung ‘broken’ pearl necklace or the iconic Westwood orb in crystal, these are pieces that define the house’s codes.
