The Vivienne Westwood Fall/Winter 2026 campaign was photographed by Juergen Teller inside the historic Belloni furniture showroom in Barlassina, Italy, pairing the collection with richly detailed Rococo revival interiors. Conceived by creative director Andreas Kronthaler, the imagery contrasts sharply tailored garments, corseted knitwear, draped dresses and Harris Tweed coats against gilded furnishings, Art Deco-inspired cabinetry and upholstered interiors. The setting reflects Kronthaler's connection to Italy while highlighting the craftsmanship of the family-run furniture manufacturer.
The campaign combines agency talent with street-cast models, including Italian cultural figure Ilona "Cicciolina" Staller. Gold damask, Neoclassical seating and trompe-l'œil wallpaper provide elaborate backdrops that emphasise the collection's layered textures, exposed seams and vivid colour accents. The photographs continue the long-standing creative collaboration between Juergen Teller and Vivienne Westwood.
