This piece perfectly embodies Westwood's philosophy of combining rebellion with refinement. The jacket features a dramatic cascading fringe panel down the entire center front, created from hundreds of hand-cut fabric strips in the same slate gray material. This raw, shredded detail creates incredible movement and texture, transforming a classic jacket silhouette into a statement piece. The fringe extends from the collar down past the hem, creating a waterfall effect. The body is crafted in a soft, stretchy acetate-wool-elastane blend with a subtle sheen and excellent drape. Fitted long sleeves with shoulder detailing, a stand collar with single button closure at neck, and clean back create a sophisticated contrast to the deconstructed front.

The contrast between the structured jacket body and the wild, unfinished fringe represents the tension between establishment and rebellion that defines Westwood's work. The piece is both wearable and avant-garde, sophisticated and subversive. Condition: Good pre-owned condition. The acetate-wool blend maintains beautiful structure and sheen. Fringe detailing is intact with characteristic raw edges (intentional design). Clean with no stains, tears (beyond intentional fringe), or significant wear. Tag partially detached . About Vivienne Westwood: Dame Vivienne Westwood is one of Britain's most influential designers, credited with bringing punk and new wave fashion into the mainstream. Her designs combine historical references, British tailoring tradition, and punk rebellion. Pieces produced in Italy (like this one by Swinger International) represent her higher-end lines with superior construction and materials. Measurements: Waist (laid flat): 17" Length (body only, not including fringe): 20" (Please add: shoulder width, pit to pit, sleeve length, total length including fringe) Care Instructions: Hand wash up to 30°C Do not bleach Iron up to 110°C Dry clean with perchloroethylene Handle fringe with care Collector's Note: Italian-made Vivienne Westwood pieces with this level of hand-finishing (the fringe appears to be individually cut and applied) are increasingly collectible. The dramatic design, excellent condition, and wearable size make this appealing to both Westwood collectors and those seeking unique statement outerwear.
