Vivienne Westwood, a pioneer in the fashion industry since 1971, will design the show entrance at Decorex, the annual leading UK design and interior show to be held at the Royal Hospital in Chelsea September 23-26.
She is not only considered as a symbol of the British avant-garde, but also one of the most influential and recognized designers in the world today. She is known for clothes and accessories that are both seductive and feminine, elegant yet powerful, which often reference historical costumes.
