Archival Runway Vivienne Westwood Amphora Wool Jacket size UK 16 - fits US 8/10

Era: Fall/Winter 1998 “Dressed to Scale” Designer: Vivienne Westwood Gold Label Material: Stretch Lambswool Blend Origin: Made in Italy Rarity: High – Documented runway Amphora tailoring piece Condition: Excellent Vintage Condition A runway-documented example of Vivienne Westwood’s iconic Amphora jacket from the Fall/Winter 1998 “Dressed to Scale” collection. This sculptural silhouette represents one of Westwood’s most successful tailoring innovations of the late 1990s. Designed as an exaggerated evolution of the Metropolitan jacket, the Amphora achieves its dramatic hourglass shape through advanced pattern cutting rather than traditional padding. The sweeping, curved lapels wrap the torso in architectural tension, while the asymmetrical front and sculpted hip panels create the illusion of compression and expansion — a hallmark of Westwood’s deconstructed historicism.
