Handmade in London, the Vivienne Westwood Galaxy Cape gown is a rare couture piece that embodies modern elegance with timeless craftsmanship. Designed in custom silk satin, it features the house’s signature internal boned straight corset bodice with a softly draped neckline, creating clean, fluid lines without lace for a minimalist yet striking silhouette. A dramatic detachable Watteau style cape sweeps into a train, offering two looks in one for gallery, city, or black tie settings.
