Vivienne Westwood launches sustainability initiative
Westwood’s fashion label has released a video that celebrates the natural world while pointing out the huge impact the fashion industry has on the environment.
What is the inspiration behind your designs?
I used the film “Rocky” as my inspiration, because it’s one of my favourite movies and because Stallone has been one of my favourite movie-stars since childhood. I incorporated boxing culture and boxing braid elements within my design of a sports shoe.
What type of leather did you use?
Waxed calf and charred leather.
