Punk rock fashion doyenne Vivienne Westwood has teamed up with wallpaper firm Cole & Son (usually known for their classic and — dare I say — boring-ish wall coverings). She’s created 12 new far-from-dreary designs for the company, all of which I’ve imagined draping around myself as a party dress. Union Jack and Dogtooth reference her British upbringing, while the delicate Cut-Out Lace gives us Westwood the wedding gown designer. My personal favorite though is Squiggle (shown), which is pure Vivienne of the ’80s — the pattern first popped up in her 1981 Pirate Collection.
