Vivienne Westwood's Jubilee Collection

When you think of Britain, you think fish and chips, ability to queue, narrow mindedness, the royal family and Vivienne Westwood. And so it only appropriate that Vivienne Westwood launches a capsule collection to mark the Jubilee; celebrating 60 years of her reign.

The Queen of British design, Westwood frequently uses typical British shapes, designs, Union Jack and crown motifs designed the collection inspired by gowns that Her Majesty has previously worn.

The range of ten dresses and four pairs of earrings will launch in May is beautiful with Union Jack colours, corseted styles and full-length dresses in silks, satins and tafetta. My favourite from the collection is the stunning full-length dress in Union Jack print that has aged effect; a cowl neck, rouched shoulders and flattering draped style it is amazing and not tacky being Union Jack at all as it Westwood.

Although being inspired by royalty and designed by fashion royalty it comes with the matching price tag- prices range from £650 to £3,000.
