In a mini wedding dress, the granddaughter of Vivienne Westwood closes the parade in tribute to the designer

A finale between style and emotion.

Saturday March 4, at the end of the Vivienne Westwood fashion show in Paris, in the salons of the Hôtel de la Marine, the last silhouette, traditionally reserved for that of the bride, created all the more emotion as it was worn by Cora Carré, the designer's granddaughter.

The 24-year-old, with tears in her eyes, seemed to float in the room, dressed in a mini wedding dress with a baroque white lace bustier, with wide sleeves, accessorized with small horns on her head, flowers in her hand and, of course, tall platform boots.

A silhouette faithful to Vivienne Westwood, who died on December 29, 2022, and her art of shaking up the world by heckling its codes.

It wasn't the first time that Cora Corré walked for Vivienne Westwood.

In 2001, at just 3 years old, she already walked the catwalk, shy alongside the model Veruschka Von Lehndorff.

Later, she will get into the habit of accompanying her grandmother, hand in hand, during the finale of her parades.

A ritual taken up for the first time on March 4 by Andreas Kronthaler.

cheeky creativity

For some years now, Vivienne Westwood had left the artistic direction to Andreas Kronthaler, her husband of thirty years.

For this highly anticipated autumn-winter collection, he has endeavored to convey forty years of insolent creativity.

The stylist presented 68 looks, most of which were made from scrap fabrics they had collected together, thus infusing the collection with a particular soul.

Righteous, powerful, irreverent, but also full of emotion and sensitivity: the parade changed into a tribute, culminating in a majestic final salute.
