Launched in 1998, Anglomania reworked recognisable cuts, prints and draped silhouettes from the designer’s runway archive for a younger ready-to-wear market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTailored from purple cotton woven with metallic bronze stripes, the skirt showcases Westwood’s distinctive approach to deconstructed form. It has a high-waisted cut and fastens at the hip with a logo-engraved button and concealed tonal zip. A series of matching ties gathers the fabric at the centre back so that the skirt resembles a bustle, allowing the wearer to adjust the shape and drape. The skirt is unlined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn excellent vintage condition with no issues of any note. The fabric is 88% cotton, 12% polyamide and has no stretch. It is labelled an Italian size 44, equivalent to approximately a UK 12 or US 8 but the waist is smaller than modern equivalents. Please refer to the sizing information below to ensure the best fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes on Design\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gathered back belongs to a specific lineage within Vivienne Westwood’s work. Westwood had introduced removable bustle forms in her Spring\/Summer 1988 Britain Must Go Pagan collection, before developing the exaggerated hourglass silhouette more fully in Café Society for Spring\/Summer 1994. This was followed by padded “bum” forms in On Liberty, the wire cage of Erotic Zones, and the lightweight metal bustle used for Vive la Cocotte in 1995. Rather than reproducing these rigid runway structures, this Anglomania skirt uses adjustable ties to create a softer and more practical interpretation of the historic bustle, allowing the wearer to control the silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWAIST - 28 in.
