Vivienne Westwood sleeveless Drunken dress in black
As an assertive non-conformist, creator Vivienne Westwood has surprised the world for decades with her offbeat, inventive, and unique creations. Her Drunken dress is no exception. It emanates a nonchalant vibe through its deconstructed stitching, as if it had been thrown on at a party. Its finish suggests that it should be buttoned asymmetrically at an offset, and the deliberate pleats in the material express a wrinkled appearance and almost ironic nonchalance. This playful and elegant garment muddles standard dress codes, thumbing its nose to the primness of certain facets of the fashion world. A purposefully clumsy and marginal expressiveness distilling the British label's essence and the vision behind its Drunken line, a playful tribute that romanticizes the clumsiness characterizing festive and drink-filled parties.
