Project Overview
This poster celebrates the rebellious spirit and iconic style of Vivienne Westwood through a raw, tactile mixed media approach. Designed to capture her punk ethos and avant-garde sensibility, the poster fuses photography, texture, and handwritten elements into a bold visual statement.
Design Concept
Inspired by Westwood’s fearless attitude, the design layers Polaroids showcasing her distinctive clothing and jewelry pieces, evoking the immediacy of backstage moments at a fashion show. The imperfect, analog aesthetic of Polaroids reflects both nostalgia and authenticity—key themes in Westwood’s work.
Signature & Personal Touches
Adding Vivienne’s handwritten signature injects a sense of intimacy and personal connection, while lipstick marks smudged across the layout references both the fierce femininity and provocative edge that define her legacy.
Materials & Techniques
The mixed media composition combines scanned Polaroids, digital collage, and hand-applied lipstick textures. This tactile approach blurs the lines between traditional and digital art, echoing Westwood’s ability to subvert conventions and redefine fashion.
Typography & Layout
Bold, distressed type complements the chaotic yet curated layering of images, embracing Westwood’s philosophy of beautifully controlled anarchy. The asymmetrical composition creates energy, movement, and a sense of raw elegance.
