Vivienne Westwood: A British fashion icon

Vivienne Westwood , born on April 8, 1941 in Tintwistle in the United Kingdom, knew how to impose her audacious and innovative style within the world of fashion. Despite a fairly classic childhood, without predicting her future international fame, she managed to stand out and mark the history of fashion.

Breaking Codes: The Rise of Vivienne Westwood

From the end of the 1970s, Vivienne Westwood became known to the general public for her punk rock style, which radically broke with fashion conventions. His audacity and provocation attract attention and allow him to associate punk rock with haute couture.

His journey, which spans more than 40 years, began with punk rock in the 1970s. Since then, his creations have had a major cultural impact, far beyond the world of fashion. Today, the Vivienne Westwood brand offers clothing and accessories aimed at a wide audience.

Presence on the biggest fashion catwalks

Present at Fashion Weeks in Milan, London and Paris, Vivienne Westwood is considered one of the most inspiring and avant-garde brands in the fashion industry. Its collections demonstrate a constant spirit of creativity and innovation.

The first association between Melissa and Vivienne Westwood, in 2008, gave birth to the famous pair of pumps, the ANGLOMANIA. This shoe, characterized by its sensuality and its punk side, reflects the unique aesthetic of Vivienne Westwood. Featuring three straps each adorned with a bow tie and a high heel, the Anglomania embody daring elegance.

The Evolution of an Icon: The Anglomania

Over time, the Anglomania have adapted to generations and trends, with new designs that are ever more extraordinary and elegant. They have been revisited in sandals, sneakers, ballet flats, tap shoes, mules with heels, and even for the little ones with a collection for MINI Melissa.
