Fashion icon at the cutting edge of style

YORKSHIRE auction house Tennants is delighted to present Vivienne Westwood: Five Decades at the Cutting Edge, a single owner sale of fashion from the icon of the British fashion industry, Dame Vivienne Westwood.

The auction will take place on Friday, August 15, and the collection will be open for public viewing from tomorrow (August 13) at Tennants' salerooms in Leyburn, North Yorkshire. It is thought to be the largest private collection of Vivienne Westwood to be sold outside London.

Vivienne Westwood broke the rules of fashion and had an extraordinary influence on British culture and design, from defining the Punk look in the 1970s to her role as global fashion icon and the activism that was central to the later years of her life.
