Vivienne Westwood, as a brand, can be spotted by its signature use of square lined pattern cloth on coats to anything like tights or shoes. This iconic pattern came from Westwood's collaboration with Harris Tweed, a brand known for their suits. Tweed fabrics are woven from 100% virgin wool in Scotland by skilled artisans. In the 80s, they had a competition between designers to design for the brand, Westwood ended up creating the fashion line for the brand in the 1987 fall season and incorporating the pattern from the collection into her own brand designs. The logo of Harris Tweed also served as inspiration at the same time with her interest in space combined which led to the Saturn like royal symbol becoming her logo. Both brands have a long history and close partnership with each other. Due to this collaboration, Westwood solidified her brand in the fashion industry and showed the world what she was capable of.
