Vivienne Westwood MAN is back with its Fall/Winter 2023 collection, this time focusing on the founder’s British punk spirit, but with a contemporary spin.

The collection leans towards traditional silhouettes for the modern day, bringing in a playful use of graphics, colors and patterns to menswear. Taking on conventional British tropes or classic overcoats like the peacoat and the trench coat, the silhouettes tell a story of the evolution of modern British fashion. While the shapes maintain its centuries-old structure, the pieces utilize modern stitching and the house’s deconstructed motifs for an added accent.

Staying true to the founder’s punk spirit, the collection leans heavily on plaid or tartan patterns and striped setups for its sarouel pants, coats and kilts. Continuing to bring the edginess to the collection, barb-wired graphics are notable patterns on knitted vests. Graphics play a heavy role in the collection, as seen on a trench coat printed with the Vivienne Westwood emblem overlaid on the skyline of London. Black and white checkered patterns are evident highlights as are the pin-striped suits and shirt combinations.

Take a look above at the Vivienne Westwood MAN FW23 collection.
