Vivienne Westwood JP

WESTWOOD HERITAGE:
BOUCHER AND BEYOND

For Vivienne, the work of François Boucher exceeded decorative reference. As a central figure of the Rococo movement in Europe, the 18th-century painter was revered for his pastoral and mythological scenes. His visual codes were woven into Vivienne’s own means of expression, shaping ideas of beauty, femininity, and fashion’s ongoing dialogue with history.
