The British brand Vivienne Westwood, international guest of this issue of the Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week, took over the baton of sizes such as Giambattista Valli, Viktor & Rolf and Elie Saab. Last night she attracted everyone at the Barcelona Bridal Night, one of the most important events of the Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week 2025 (BBFW), which took place in Barcelona from April 23 to 27.
The show, which took place in the historic cloister of the University of Barcelona, was the debut of the label with a collection that is completely devoted to bridal fashion. The creation consisting of 30 looks praised the legacy and the rebellious spirit of the late founder with a modern approach.
Westwood’s husband Andreas Kronthaler has the creative direction of the house and works closely with Brigitte Stepputtis, responsible for the design of Haute Couture and the Bridal-Line.
New silhouettes, punk details and an uncompromising bride
True to the brand’s DNA, the proposal is characterized by a reinterpretation of traditional silhouettes by experimental cuts, structured corsets, removable layers and handmade embroidery. The punk aesthetics and the traditional British design met in a visual story that claims bridal fashion as the space of self-expression beyond the protocol.
On a catwalk that was dominated by a monochrome color palette with white as a protagonist – even if without fear of introducing darker tones or pink details – clothes with extreme volume, asymmetrical cuts, sculptural draps and suggestive transparencies followed.
From mini dresses with veils to trouser suits, the collection comprised a controlled theatrics, somewhere between baroque and cheeky aesthetics, and completed the show with a pop-cultural wink of a Simpsons t-shirt.
Vivienne Westwood operates specialized bridal mode boutiques in important cities such as London, Paris, Milan, New York and Los Angeles.
