Legal Row Threatens Vivienne Westwood’s Unfinished Fashion Project

The fate of Vivienne Westwood’s final fashion project is hanging in the balance amid a continuing dispute over her creative legacy

The punk designer developed the collection with her photographer son, Ben Westwood, who fears legal complications could prevent its release

The disagreement centres on ownership of Westwood’s celebrated orb logo and some early designs, with the fashion company facing the Vivienne Westwood Foundation

Ben is a director of the charity alongside other family members, leaving the proposed collection caught in an especially awkward family-and-fashion stalemate.
