"Long live the orb."
Vivienne Westwood's orb and Saturn ring emblem, prominently featured on her Bas Relief pearl chokers, is a symbol of her unique blend of traditional and futuristic elements. This emblem was conceived in the mid-1980s during a period when Westwood was in Italy collaborating with Fiorucci and developing her own royal-inspired collection. The inspiration for the logo came from British royal insignia, specifically the orb from the crown jewels, reimagined with a modern twist by adding a satellite ring. This creative fusion of past and future elements quickly became a hallmark of the brand, embodying Westwood's innovative spirit and her ability to subvert traditional upper-class fashion codes.
