The Vivienne Westwood Spring 2026 RTW collection looked at earth as a Garden of Eden – florals and natural fabrics, knitwear hinting at the naked body beneath, playing with light, heavy shadows and gestural movement.

For the collection, tailoring and dresses deliberately rumpled, undyed fabrics realised in their purest form. Fun with miniskirts and micro-shorts. Eveningwear adapted from recent AK runway pieces – sharp in black serge, sequins, fetzen and crushed taffeta.

A new interpretation of the ‘Paradise’ print created by artist and frequent collaborator, Dominic Myatt, depicts the antithesis: a tarnished utopia, decaying, littered with trash, is printed across georgette dresses and shirts, knitwear and felpa – paradise lost.
