Mixed media on canvas

100 x 120cm

Original artwork 1/1

A mixed-media portrait of Vivienne Westwood, layered with cut-outs from Vogue covers, flashes of 24 carat gold leaf and the spray-painted words “She Wore Her Strength Like Couture.” Against the riot of colour and fragmented fashion imagery, Westwood appears defiant and unmistakably herself — designer, provocateur and punk icon.

The piece celebrates the magazines, fashion and rebellious personalities that became part of our cultural memory, while paying tribute to a woman who never simply followed fashion — she challenged it. She Wore Her Strength Like Couture is a reminder that the most enduring thing we wear is often the courage to be ourselves. Price: £3,500
