Vivienne’s spring 1985 collection marked the end of her five-year “New Romantic” period, which, cloaked in references to historical epochs, aimed to take punk mainstream. Titled "Mini-Crini,” a mocking reference to the stiff, conservative, crinoline fabrics which were popular during the 18th and 19th century, the work was described as a “cardinal change” by Westwood, as she altered her signature silhouette towards something more fitted. It was one of her early references to a distinct historical epoch, a motif she would explore numerous times in coming years.

This trucker jacket features an all-over polka dot print, and is based off of the Lee 91-B, a silhouette Vivienne employed throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s.
