Vivienne Westwood Puppy tartan cotton-blend top

Vivienne Westwood's legacy of subversive tailoring is captured in the Puppy top’s structured, corset-inspired form. The design juxtaposes a classic checked pattern with modern deconstruction, featuring a draped overlay and internal boning that defines the silhouette for daywear or evening occasions.

The art of the detail

The Puppy top is defined by its corset-like structure, crafted from a blended cotton fabric that features a timeless checked pattern in tones of blue and white. Internal boning provides definition, while the self-tie shoulder straps allow for a personalized fit and add a delicate counterpoint to the structured design. The material, with its cotton details, offers a comfortable feel with a smooth finish, making it a foundation piece that is both visually compelling and thoughtfully constructed.

How to wear

Style this top with high-waisted tailored trousers and a sharp blazer for a contemporary approach to professional dressing. For an evening event, pair it with the matching asymmetrical skirt and pointed pumps to create a coordinated look that reflects the house’s rebellious spirit. The design also works for transitional seasons when layered over a simple long-sleeved shirt, offering a creative take on daywear that is ideal for a brunch meeting or an afternoon in the city.
