Vivienne Westwood Red Label

Label Overview

In addition to her “demi-couture” line, Vivienne Westwood launched the Red Label in 1993 to supplement her income. The lower-priced collection takes on a slightly younger aesthetic and adheres to current trends while still maintaining the elements of the iconic Vivienne Westwood look: tartan plaids, body-conscious cuts and dandified coats with rounded lapels. In 2008, Westwood started showing Red Label in London, which made for a return home of sorts, considering she shows her original line in Paris.

What's Been Said

  • “Fifteen years ago no one would have predicted such an incendiary nutcase would ever survive in business, let alone live to swish a wearable collection of in-demand Westwood-isms in the face of her gainsayers. But that was what it was: a lineup of pinstripe tailoring, tartan kilts, knits, and coats with rounded lapels stamped with the baggy-hemmed, asymmetric hallmarks of the Westwood classic. The fact that it's all at an accessible price—even the gorgeous versions of her draped-bosom evening dresses—is, for a democrat like Viv, perhaps the biggest triumph.”
