Vivienne Westwood & Jewellery – The Exhibition
17/07/2025 — Vivienne Westwood
Announcing Vivienne Westwood & Jewellery – A Celebratory Exhibition, Now Touring Worldwide.
Jewellery has played an integral role in defining the Vivienne Westwood look and this exhibition will explore the design language and subversive spirit of the British design house through this prism. Marking the first time the special archive and runway jewellery, from across four decades, have been curated and displayed as a collection, the exhibition will offer an immersive look at Vivienne Westwood’s extensive history of jewellery design – encompassing Westwood’s sensibilities for historical reference, culture – past and present ideas.
Vivienne Westwood & Jewellery will be told through a number of themes, divided across eight rooms, each dedicated to distinct decades of design; from punk origins to fantasies of Wonderland, the ecological philosophy of Do It Yourself, an exploration of cultures and 18th Century Parure, and an ode to the house emblem in The Orb Tree.
Visitors can expect eclectic pairings of jewellery and garments – each creation presented as an ‘objet d’art’, surrounded by a mélange of sounds, catwalk looks, graphic wall collages, imagery and video, recalling iconic past collections and runway shows, offering a unique perspective into the Vivienne Westwood world. Visitors will be taken on a journey through time, from the 1980s to the present day.
The experience extends beyond the exhibition – with a branded pop-up Vivienne Westwood Café and a Vivienne Westwood pop-up boutique offering the ready-to-wear collections for men and women, and seasonal jewellery alongside limited-edition accessories and jewellery, scarves and t-shirts available exclusively for the exhibition. Lastly, visitors to Luxelakes CPI can fully immerse in the Vivienne Westwood world, by visiting the Giant Orb photobooth to capture the moment, at Luxelakes until 20th December.
