Vivienne Westwood organizes debut fashion show in India in Mumbai
Making its debut in the country, luxury fashion brand Vivienne Westwood organized its first-ever fashion show celebrating India’s rich textile heritage in Mumbai.
Held at the Gateway of India, the fashion show with a 166-ft-long runway featured few of the brand’s standout pieces from its spring/summer 2025 collection alongwith special archive pieces and a capsule collection crafted with the hand-woven fabrics from India.
This special capsule collection was crafted with fabrics like chanderi silks, khadi cotton, wool and silk sourced from across India by Khadi India and Aaranya from Madhya Pradesh.
The fashion event was attended by Royal families from across India, Bollywood personalities, designers, and industry influencers.
Andreas Kronthaler, Creative Director, Vivienne Westwood, says, a vast country with a rich history and culture, India offers the lightest, crispiest and most opulent Khadi and Chanderi fabrics.
Carlo D’Amario. CEO, Vivienne Westwood add, the collection celebrates India’s rich textile
heritage and traditional hand-woven industries. The brand has since long championed craftsmanship and heritage and partnered with local industries and artisans in the UK, as well as in Europe and Africa for decades. It now aims to partner with the artisanal hand-crafted textile industry of India for this show.
The show was organised in partnership with the Department of Textiles, Government of Maharashtra and Vivz Fashion School.
