Vivienne Westwood & Jewellery
Vivienne Westwood & Jewellery is a major exhibition created by Vivienne Westwood Ltd in partnership with Nomad Exhibitions.
Dame Vivienne Westwood (1941–2022) is one of the most influential fashion designers of the past half-century and jewellery has played an integral role in defining the Vivienne Westwood look. This exhibition explores the design language and subversive spirit of the British design house and examines the significance of jewellery in Westwood's work, presenting it as a prism through which to explore her artistic vision.
The exhibition is curated across multiple rooms, each dedicated to a distinct theme and decade of design: from punk origins to the fantasies of Wonderland, the ecological philosophy of Do It Yourself to the influence and opulence of 18th century parure, and an ode to the house emblem, The Orb Tree.
For the first time, more than 600 archival and runway jewellery pieces, alongside garments and accessories, have been curated and displayed as a collection. Each creation is presented as an ‘objet d'art’ in self-lit cabinets, surrounded by a mélange of catwalk looks, graphic wall collages, imagery and film, 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.
Launched in January 2025 at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington, the exhibition has now opened at Taikoo Li Qiantan in Shanghai, before continuing its international tour across Asia, the USA, and Europe.
