Tradition Meets Rebellion

Iconic fashion line from Westwood created in 1993 was called the "Anglomania." The name itself meant obsession with everything English. It was similar to that of the Harris Tweed collection she helped design a decade before, but with a more edgy look than before. Harris Tweed was a more traditional brand, but here Westwood had unlimited creative freedom.
Anglomania showed Westwood's rebellion through tailoring. It twisted tradition instead of rejecting it entirely. A plaid blazer might be cut off-balance. A corset might be styled over casual pieces. It was about questioning structure while still respecting craftsmanship. It was both tasteful and absurd the way Westwood chose to respect what was already created before her, but by putting her own twist on the designs and show how classy punk can be.
Runway looks from that year.
