New Lifestyle Goods and Recycled Items Unveiled
Vivienne Westwood Anglomania is a diffusion line of Vivienne Westwood, launched in Spring/Summer 1998. It is characterized by iconic designs and unique, exciting prints, arranged from Vivienne Westwood's archive collections.
From the Spring/Summer 2014 season, in addition to the existing import line, a licensed line, jointly planned with Vivienne Westwood Ltd. in the UK, has been fully launched. New lifestyle goods such as homewear and beach towels, as well as items made from recycled materials, will be offered.
The lineup includes a rich selection of recycled items, such as leather jewelry made from waste materials from the production process, tote bags made from repurposed coffee bean sacks with original prints, and handmade plush toys called "Sock Animals" sewn from socks and tights. These items align with Vivienne Westwood's own focus on environmental protection activities.
The shop's interior design utilizes recycled materials from discarded ships. With graphics of an upside-down Piccadilly Circus in London placed behind the sales counter, the space immediately immerses visitors in the brand's world. Be sure to visit this flagship store, Japan's first, which exudes a powerful presence.
