Some tears were shed at Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood’s AW23 showcase. Paying homage to Dame Westwood, the late designer’s much-revered looks inspired the season, starting with Isamaya Ffrench’s interpretation of powdered skin, golden speckles, and multi-toned lines across the models’ faces. Ffrench further alludes to the way make-up was applied, recreating the looks in the same way as Vivienne did on herself, she expresses on Instagram, „I think we just want to take some little references to some of the ways she used eyeliner pencils and metallics. Not everybody has a look, some people are just naturally themselves.“ Said looks exuded new wave, the lingering non-conformity, and the loose-handed punk approach that will prevail even beyond Vivienne’s lifetime.
