The discombobulating outfit was, in fact, the opening look of Vivienne Westwood’s Fall-Winter 2024 show in Paris — a collection that has proved divisive online.
“Vivienne Westwood will be turning in her grave watching Sam Smith in this get up,” wrote one disgruntled fan on X.
While many online lamented how Kronthaler’s latest season has “defiled” and “tainted” Westwood’s fashion reputation.
The 1990s era of Vivienne Westwood was defined by shape and silhouette, as demonstrated here with Linda Evangelista walking the Fall-Winter 1995 show in Paris.
Kronthaler's first solo show for Vivienne Westwood at Paris Fashion Week felt more aligned with the brand's popular 90s silhouettes.
