The Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood Spring-Summer 2024 Show

“Dearest all, Resume. No, it’s not a retrospective. Private. A survey. I organised and numbered Vivienne’s personal wardrobe, clothes we did together. Revisited. Reworked. The collection coming out in the order I picked them, numbered from a hat. Where I felt I changed, or I added, or I took away. Loved the way she dressed. Always the opposite of everybody else. Wore things until they fell apart – her corduroy suit which she wore over twenty years constantly. A great mender always done in bed – never wasted anything. She understood how to make the most of herself – the most of it! Her thought was always somewhere else, somewhere exciting, that’s what made her so attractive. She had a very special relationship to time, she truly travelled in her mind. I owe her so much.“ Andreas Kronthaler, September 2023 Paris. Music composed and performed by Jeremy Dutton
