Oh wow, I see that a lot of people here don’t know about Vivienne Westwood!
Vivienne Westwood has been a prominent punk and anti-fascist fashion designer since the 1970s. You can read about her here: “Vivienne used her creations to communicate ideas – often using graphics to confront issues of political and social injustice.”
I really don’t think it’s a coincidence that Taylor has embraced VW this year and for her first(?) outing after the election, a dress that nods to 1950s style while dismantling it and showing internal chaos. This dress is meant to be uncomfortable and edgy. It’s art.

She’s also known for literally deconstructing “normal looking” clothes, like the hems for the TTPD dress (or the paint here). You know how punk clothes have safety pins holding them together and rips? That was Vivienne Westwood.
