Numbers tell stories, and for Andreas Kronthaler, the number 19 is more than just a figure—it’s a symbol of energy, expansion, and new beginnings. On the invitation and even on the coats in the Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood FW25 collection, the equation was clear: 1+9 = 10, 1+0 = 1—a reminder to “achieve your goals and dare to dream.”
“Vivienne taught me to love tailoring and weaving,” Kronthaler shared. “It has always been the foundation of our collections. Tailoring is a British invention—it’s a framework for self-expression. And honestly, there’s nothing sexier than a suit!” This season, Kronthaler pays homage to London, his home for over 30 years, and for the first time in years, Vivienne Westwood’s main line merges with Andreas Kronthaler’s vision—a move that echoes the 90s era of Red Label and Gold Label shows.
The collection bursts with Harris Tweed, Scottish tartans, and Yorkshire wool, weaving together a rich tapestry of color and pattern. Menswear takes center stage once again, drawing inspiration from legendary figures like Quentin Crisp, Brigitte Bardot, Gertrude Stein, Cecil Beaton, and Rihanna, not to mention the eternal influence of Vivienne Westwood herself.
It’s a collection that blends heritage, rebellion, and romance, proving once more that Kronthaler’s vision is as daring as ever.
