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.

The capsule collection reimagines fabrics, prints and hand-drawn graphics – transforming homes into canvases for culture, art and craftsmanship through the Westwood lens.

Drawing on Vivienne Westwood’s rich creative history and celebrated print archives, the collection combines historical reference with avant-garde design, creating a unique wallpaper collection that merges the worlds of fashion, interior design and living.

Designed, hand-painted, and printed entirely within Great Britain, the collection comprises eight designs over 31 colourways. From hand-rendered stripes to trompe-l’oeil tartans, graphic leopard prints, and expansive squiggles.
