Vivienne Westwood shows at iconic Milanese bar in fashion week return
The guests sat at Bar Rivoli's coffee tables for breakfast, while viewing the looks designed by Andreas Kronthaler, husband of the late, great British designer. The collection's mood was characterised by the provocative style typical of the label founded by Westwood, and featured contemporary dandyish looks boldly blending British elegance and Milanese style.
For example, the jacket-and-shorts suit worn over a pair of boots, and the pinstriped suit with oversize lapels, the trousers cinched with an elastic waistband and worn over a bare torso, the look completed by a maxi straw hat.
'Being stylish means a lot for a man,' said Kronthaler, adding that 'it's nothing to do with fashion, it's all a matter of style.'

BFC teases City Wide Celebration details with big names and four-city focus
This will include the launch of ' At Home With'. Presented by London Fashion Week (LFW) principal partner 1664 Blanc, it will feature a nationwide series of talks and panel discussions 'spotlighting the cultural and geographic roots of some of Britain's most celebrated designers'. These will (so far) include Barbour, Kazna Asker, Matty Bovan, Nadine Merabi, Patrick McDowell, SS Daley, Talia Byre and The Winter House, as At Home With 'celebrates the impact of British fashion beyond London, championing regional talent and engaging local communities'. Through the series, 1664 Blanc said it 'continues its commitment to championing emerging designers and making LFW more accessible to a broader audience, both in the capital and nationwide'. Meanwhile, the series 'supports a new strategic direction' set out by BFC CEO Laura Weir ' to decentralise British fashion from London and spotlight creative excellence across the UK'. The programme also aims to complement the recent announcement of the BFC Fashion Assembly, a pilot initiative conceived by Sarah Mower, BFC Ambassador for Emerging Talent, which received strong industry support. The Fashion Assembly is a creative education programme that will be rolled out in schools nationwide from 2026. Together, CWC and the Fashion Assembly 'represent a bold, joined-up approach to redefining the national narrative of British fashion, rooted in place, purpose, and potential'. The CWC programme kicks off in Liverpool (6 September, 15:00-17:00) featuring SS Daley, Patrick McDowell and Talia Byre (moderator) taking place at the Gordon Ramsay Bread Street Kitchen & Bar, Liverpool One. It then moves on to Manchester (13 September, 13:00-15:00) featuring Nadine Merabi, The Winter House, Matty Bovan and Kazna Asker, moderated by Emma Davidson, Dazed's fashion director of Editorial and Partnerships, at the Orient Stage, Trafford Centre. London (21 September, 12:30-13.30) still has details to be confirmed but so far we know Aaron Esh and Labrum will appear, moderated by Hetty Mahlich at 180 The Strand. Finally, Newcastle (30 September 18:30-20:00) will feature Barbour, moderated by Paul Toner, deputy editor of 10 and 10 Men, at Fenwick Newcastle, Eldon Square. The organisers said the full CWC schedule will be announced later this summer.
