Quirky Medieval-Inspired Fashion

The Vivienne Westwood Spring 2014 Features Looks Fit for a Queen

— October 2, 2013 — Luxury
The Vivienne Westwood Spring 2014 featured a collection of Medieval-inspired fashions. Westwood put her own spin on the fashion of the Middle Ages, featuring looks that ranged from peasant-chic to royal splendor.

Models walked the runways outfitted in loose, drapey dresses, lace capes, long tulle skirts and extravagant wreath-inspired headwear. The models even carried canes or wooden staphs, were splattered with mud and sported messy, super teased up-dos to really complete the look.

The collection also retained Westwood’s penchant for fun and color with vibrant floral patterns emblazoned on several pieces and even a kitty tee shirt or two sneaking in there. Overall, viewing Westwood’s collection is sort of like stepping into a time capsule and gawking at the opulent, decadent fashion sense of the Chaucer era.
Trend Themes
1. Medieval-inspired Fashion - The fashion industry can explore incorporating historical elements into modern designs to create a new trend that blends the past with the present.
2. Peasant-chic - The fashion industry can embrace the beauty in simplicity and create fashion lines that capture the minimal and functional qualities of peasant clothing while still maintaining their luxurious touch.
3. Opulent Fashion Sense - The fashion industry can experiment with creating over-the-top, opulent designs that capture the extravagance of another time period and reflect current society's fascination with luxury.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Fashion designers can look to the past and incorporate historical elements into modern designs to create a new trend that is both nostalgic and fashion-forward.
2. Event Planning - Event planners can incorporate Medieval-inspired elements in event themes, such as the use of wreath-inspired headwear and extravagant decorations that transport guests to another era.
3. Entertainment - Entertainment companies can create immersive experiences, such as Medieval-themed shows or performances, that allow audiences to witness the opulence and extravagance of another time period.
