Product Description:
A rare archival piece from Vivienne Westwood, this cropped denim jacket features one of the designer’s most iconic motifs — a full Renaissance-style painting digitally transferred onto structured cotton twill. The warm-toned palette and sensual imagery reflect Westwood’s fascination with classical art, eroticism, and rebellion.
Cut in a sharply structured cropped silhouette, the piece features flap chest pockets, gold-toned orb buttons, and dramatic bishop sleeves. The back reveals a baroque portrait-like print that anchors the jacket in visual drama. Two buttons are missing from the lower back hem, an easy fix that doesn’t compromise the garment’s wearability or display value.
This is a standout collector’s piece that merges punk sensibility with high-art iconography. Style it with layered textures or tailored bottoms for a poetic, post-modern statement.
