Vivienne Westwood Ethically Creates Mystical AW Collection

Now if you’ve noticed that the main print is a gorgeous sky and pastoral scene, and you’re wondering where you’ve seen it before… then that’s because the collection is inspired by the 1743 painting, Daphnis and Chloe, by French artist, François Boucher. Or more aptly, the Rocaille style – otherwise known as French Rococo (which appeared in Paris during the reign of Louis XV, and flourished between about 1723 and 1759).

The Rocaille interior design style is characterised by easygoing, lighthearted treatments of mythological and courtship themes. Consisting of rich and delicate brushwork, a relatively light tonal key, and sensuous colouring. Rococo sculpture was notable for its intimate scale, its naturalism. And its varied surface effects.

Characterised by lightness, elegance, and an exuberant use of curving natural forms, the unisex collection was lensed by none other than British-Brazilian model and photographer, Alice Dellal. And I seriously can’t stop thinking that sustainability has never looked quite so divine!
