About this collection
Vivienne Westwood Man entered the Milan menswear calendar in January 1996 as a durable named division inside the house. Westwood had already presented a complete menswear collection at Pitti Uomo in 1990, so the Milan debut represents the formation of a continuing label and regular show structure, not the first appearance of menswear in her work.
The new division gave menswear its own public identity and fashion-week rhythm within a house that was simultaneously expanding Gold Label and Red Label. It remained a distinct global line until the 2016 consolidation into the unified Vivienne Westwood mainline.
