Bridal - Couture 2021
Vivienne Westwood unveil a new Couture Bridal Collection for 2021 – a retrospective of iconic catwalk silhouettes are curated into a collection which celebrates 25 years since the inception of couture at the London atelier, each piece is reminiscent of a significant moment from the Westwood archive and her development as a master couturier. Available exclusively to the Vivienne Westwood London Davies St and New York flagship boutiques, the 2021 Couture looks have been expertly handcrafted in the London atelier. Featuring playful exposed lace corsetry, complimented with high slits, tulle trains and rose embroidery. Corseted ruffled mini dresses shimmering in lurex mounted on organza and the opulent Peace Cocotte gown in heavy silk is styled with a double satin Bird of Paradise apron train, creating baroque bride grandeur.
The creation of each couture gown at Vivienne Westwood is a truly bespoke service, with every made-to-measure piece personally designed for each bride and created with dedicated time and attention to detail from the Vivienne Westwood couture team. Once the bride has selected the silhouette, personalised design sketches are drawn-up and a toile is then constructed and tailored to the bride’s body. A selection of luxury fabrics, handcrafted embroidery, beading, applique and bespoke finishings are explored and the final gown is then handcrafted in Westwood’s London atelier.
We are now offering bespoke personalised one-to-one couture and made-to-order appointments digitally for the first time. Westwood’s expert couturiers will welcome bridal and couture clients to a showroom virtually and will now be able to connect with clients globally without the need for travel.

Peace Cocotte & B.O.P. Train
The opulent Peace Cocotte, reinterprets the seminal Vivienne Westwood Cocotte gown through a modern lens.
The original Cocotte neckline is subverted, an architectural sweeping line lifts the top of the corset to hover just above the shoulders – exaggerating the cinched waist, from which lustrous silk satin dances and drapes from the hip, evocative of ancient Greek statues.
Adding drama to the couture look, a detachable Bird of Paradise Train is tied over the Peace Cocotte gown. The original Bird of Paradise dress was first seen in the Spring-Summer 2005 Gold Label show Ultra Femininity, encapsulating the grandeur of the Baroque age, a statement of extreme extravagance.
