Vivienne Westwood: The Personal Collection

Vivienne Westwood: The Personal Collection was sold at Christie’s to raise funds for the charitable causes the pioneering British cultural icon championed during her lifetime. The live and online sales realised a combined total of £754,488 with hammer proceeds benefitting The Vivienne Foundation, Amnesty International, Médecins Sans Frontières and Greenpeace. Spanning the four decade solo career of one of the most influential designers of modern times, each item included in the two sales represented a significant moment in Vivienne's life. The sale also included jewellery and accessories as well as The Big Picture, Vivienne’s playing cards, which were sold to benefit Greenpeace. Resonating with new and existing clients, the auctions were 100% sold.
