Denim Designer Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne Westwood is creating a denim line.

The legendary fashion designer will collaborate with Lee to release The Vivienne Westwood Anglomania and Lee collection next autumn through Vivienne Westwood boutiques and selected retailers.

According to reports, the collection will include superskinny jeans, microshorts and bondage jeans in a range of washes from indigo denim to metallic gold- and copper-coloured denim.

Carlo D'Amario, the managing director of Vivienne Westwood, told WWD: "It is very important for us to work with a denim brand like Lee with such a strong heritage."

The collection will retail from $128 to $320.

Meanwhile, the designer is delighted with the results of her wallpaper collaboration with Cole and Sons, which features iconic prints and patterns she has used throughout her career.

She said: "It is good when my ideas get carried over into other artistic media. This collection is a perfect opportunity to be able to work with a heritage company like Cole & Son and to see my ideas from fashion translated into the world of interiors and wallpaper."

The wallpaper is available from Liberty, John Lewis and Heal's.
