Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne Westwood is one of the few fashion houses that can be recognized by a single detail. The Orb – the globe with the Saturn ring – has been one of the most famous symbols in fashion history since the eighties. At ABOUT.ALEXA, you will find a consciously curated selection of it.

Why Vivienne Westwood is at ABOUT.ALEXA

I think in terms of styles, not individual pieces – and that is exactly why this label is with us. An Orb bracelet or a bag changes an entire look without you having to get changed. That is the essence of the brand for me: it gives an outfit attitude.

With every brand, I ask myself the same question: Does it have its own signature style? Can I create special looks for my customers with it? At Vivienne Westwood, the answer is obvious. Hardly any other design house has a more distinctive visual language – and yet almost every piece can be combined with quiet basics.

The selection at ABOUT.ALEXA

We curate the brand to be intentionally accessible. Prices start at €65, with the selection ranging up to €565:

• Jewelry from €90 – Orb pendants, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. The easiest way to make a statement without reworking your entire look.
• Bags from €290 to €380 – including the Hazel, the Yasmine Mini, the Tasha, and the Granny Frame Purse.
• Shirts and tops – our largest segment, from the classic Orb print to knitwear and blouses like the Halston.
• Individual pieces including skirts, dresses, trousers, jeans, and vests, which change seasonally.

How I combine Vivienne Westwood

You don't have to commit to an entire Westwood look – and in my experience, you shouldn't. A single piece is enough to make a quiet look interesting.

The principle: one strong piece, the rest understated. An Orb pendant with a simple black turtleneck. A bag with designer denim and a white shirt. A printed T-shirt under a classic-cut blazer. That is how you make the brand look modern rather than like a costume.

If you are unsure which piece suits your wardrobe, we would be happy to show you the items in person in Dortmund or advise you during a personal styling appointment.
