'Mini Crini' collection (1985)

Vivienne eclares her love for feminine power in this collection. She emphasises the small waist instead of the shoulders by drawing attention to the hips with a short swinging crinoline, the 'criniscule', or puffball skirt. The shoulder is reduced to its natural size by means of the classic proportions of English tailoring using princess lines, which can be worn over the crini.

This important move redefines Vivienne Westwood's vision as a designer, English tailoring remaining to this day the foundation of her work.
