Vivienne Westwood had a sensibility for fabrics that others overlooked, at a time when most fashion was driven by ease of wear and care. ‘I’ve utilised convention to make things unorthodox,’ she expressed. Her use of Harris Tweed® (a rough-textured fabric, woven in Scotland from pure wool) was a testament to this, as she subverted silhouettes, prints or knitwear, to create a language of her own. On the ‘Harris Tweed’ collection from Autumn-Winter 1987/88, Vivienne noted, “Here, I have taken the vocabulary of royalty and traditional British symbols – and used it to my advantage.”
