'Blue Sky' dress
In her collections for the 21st century, Westwood has, for the time being, put historicism to one side. After exploring the potential of clothing to reshape the body, she has returned to 'free form' cutting. In Blue Sky, S/S 2003, she uses rectangles, triangular gussets and curved seams to explore the natural dynamic of fabric, as in her 1981 Pirate collection.
