Vivienne Westwood

This season, she continued the trend with a look back to one of her personal favorites, spring 1998’s “Tied to the Mast” collection, a swashbuckling pirate-and-sailor fantasia inspired by the 19th-century British couturier Redfern. Still, this season’s cheeky, more light-hearted lookbook, featuring the likes of Georgia May Jagger and Lily McMenamy cavorting around maritime detritus—and in one shot, a shirtless, oiled-up model holding a sailboat above his head, bodybuilder-style—feels firmly rooted in the present.

In part that’s thanks to Westwood’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, an area where—whatever you make of her mandate to buy less while still producing multiple collections each season—she undoubtedly walks the walk.
