Inside Vivienne Westwood's Opulent FW26 Campaign

Shot by longtime collaborator Juergen Teller.

Vivienne Westwood heads to Italy for its Fall/Winter 2026 campaign. Captured by longtime collaborator Juergen Teller, the latest visuals unfold inside the historic Belloni showroom, a family-run furniture maker located between Milan and Como that has been crafting interiors for more than 150 years.

According to creative director Andreas Kronthaler, the location was inspired by his move to Milan, with Belloni’s richly decorated spaces offering the perfect backdrop for the collection. Ornate Rococo furnishings, Art Deco cabinets and lush textiles frame the campaign, creating a distinctly Italian setting that contrasts with the collection’s sharp tailoring, deconstructed silhouettes and British punk aesthetic.

The lineup pairs dark felted suiting with flashes of red, while draped dresses, structured Harris Tweed coats and corseted knitwear are layered with exposed seams and unexpected fabric combinations. The juxtaposition of heritage interiors and rebellious styling stays true to the house’s signature design codes.

Casting also plays a central role in the story, blending street-cast talent with familiar faces. Italian Ilona Staller, better known as Cicciolina, stars alongside the cast, bringing her unmistakable presence to the campaign and reinforcing Kronthaler’s vision of celebrating contemporary Italian culture.

Photographed in sweltering 41-degree heat, the campaign marks another striking collaboration between Kronthaler and Teller, blending fashion, interiors and character-driven storytelling into a series of dramatic portraits.
