The V Love A print was hand-painted personally by Vivienne and first featured in the Autumn-Winter 2022/23 Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood La Nouvelle Eve collection. The painting was inspired by an art book Vivienne was enjoying at the time of naïve 18th-century Italian paintings, featuring countrymen in the mountains. The collection was an elegant tribute to the world of theatre and art, reflected across prints and through silhouette – presented in the historic Belle Époque La Nouvelle Eve revue theatre in Montmartre, Paris.
For translation into wallpaper the Cole & Son studio worked to keep the artwork and hand of Vivienne as faithful as possible to the original, with a tile-like repeat. Offered in three colourways – one, Night Sky, honouring the exact palette of the original artwork, alongside more muted palettes of Moss & Thistle and Mint & Tangerine
Vivienne Love Andreas derives its name from the hidden graffiti-like scrawl Vivienne embedded within the design and represents the unique opportunity to decorate your walls with an original artwork an original fashion innovator which tells the tale of a long-standing love story and creative partnership.
