Within the confines on HMP Belmarsh today, four guests and two witnesses gathered to watch the nuptials of Julian Assange and Stella Moris. The couple, despite clearly testing circumstances, dressed the part in Vivienne Westwood couture.
Making her way into the prison, Moris looked a spectacle in the custom lilac duchess satin corseted frock, finished with roses sewn into the bodice. It came with a statement veil trailing on the floor, complete with colourful embroidered messages from friends and family who could not attend.

Dame Vivienne Westwood doesn’t want to talk about fashion. “That’s for Andreas,” she says in her small, resolute voice, which is occasionally flattened by a Derbyshire vowel or two. “Andreas and I work together and he supports everything I do.” She gesticulates at her husband of almost 30 years, who is sitting next to her on the sofa of the Hackney studio where the pair just had their picture taken. Hairy and broad, at least double Westwood’s size and nearly 25 years her junior, Andreas Kronthaler seems a bit distant – his bright blue eyes are determined to look anywhere but at her – which I can only assume is because she’s doing most of the talking. “I’m going to talk and talk and talk, I’m afraid,” she continues. “Then I can stop, because I want to talk about the mission.”

Forty years after Vivienne Westwood and Malcom McLaren staged their first fashion show, full of pirate looks, swagger has returned to the runways. It’s present in Rick Owens’s elegantly tattered dresses (a wink at Schiap’s tear print perhaps) and in Matty Bovan’s high-seas fantasies. Both boast an imperfect glamour that resonates in a time when many are feeling shipwrecked by the pandemic. A little bit of swashbuckling bravado might be just what we need to keep up the fight.

As to the first, admittedly, there are no immediate plans to install a club-worthy dancefloor in our living space. But choreographer Holly Blakely‘s new campaign film for the latest Asics x Vivienne Westwood collection is just the inspirational hit of mad abandon we need right now, and just enough cheeky Britishness to make us forget for a bit that we won’t actually be landing in London any time soon.
