Vivienne Westwood and Palace launched their first-ever collab early last month but it doesn’t seem to have made everybody happy.

This week the Vivienne Foundation issued a statement regarding the use of Westwood’s design archive and said its “message highlights concerns around the collaboration and its disregard for Vivienne’s legacy”.

The not-for-profit Foundation said that the late designer had “transferred all her creative design and property rights to the Foundation including everything she created before she formed the VW company in 1993.

“It is a great shame that for their recent collaboration with Palace, the VW company has decided to base the designs on Vivienne’s archive without consulting the Foundation. This shows a blatant disregard for Vivienne’s wishes, her legacy and the Foundation.

“We understand that Palace entered into the collaboration with VW company in good faith and they were not aware of this situation. However it is very unfortunate that this has been allowed to happen and we hope that under the circumstances the parties involved will do the right thing, and honour Vivienne’s wishes… moving forward”.

The Foundation is dedicated to supporting causes Westwood “was deeply passionate about” including halting climate change, stopping war, defending human rights and protesting capitalism.
