Vivienne Westwood unveiled its Spring–Summer 2026 collection beneath the magnificent dome of Institut de France.

Cosi Tutti fifth show production for Vivienne Westwood unveiled its Spring–Summer 2026 collection, Boudoir, beneath the magnificent dome of the historic Institut de France. The first show ever in that landmark Parisian location.

Conceived by Andreas Kronthaler, the collection reimagined our intimate and emotional connection to clothes. Styling embraced the beauty of imperfection — laddered stockings by design, pearls entwined with chains. Set beneath the former church’s grand cupola, a central runway platform played with distortion and proportion — a dialogue between the past and the possible, an ode to Westwood’s spirit of fearless adventure.

A monumental floral installation stood in contrast to the site’s theatrical architecture, echoing the Maison’s creative ethos: craftsmanship as protest, ornament as manifesto. Through this immersive tableau, Vivienne Westwood reaffirmed its legacy as fashion’s conscience and catalyst, offering a vision of beauty that dares to think, to challenge, and to change.
