1980's Vivienne Westwood 'Worlds End' Tits top.
(circa 1982)
An exceptionally rare World’s End “Tits” top in 100% organic unbleached cotton, featuring the infamous trompe-l’oeil print in black and white with golden orb embroidery detail. Originally conceived in the late 1970s at Westwood and McLaren’s Chelsea boutique, the “Tits” design became one of the most subversive and provocative garments of the punk era.
This piece embodies the spirit of Westwood’s early work, worn and collected by icons of the period including Chrissie Hynde, Siouxsie Sioux, Adam Ant, and members of the Sex Pistols, later reinterpreted in the wardrobes of cultural figures such as Kate Moss, Pamela Anderson, and Pharrell Williams.
Early World’s End examples, particularly those bearing the original cotton label and orb embroidery, are scarcely seen outside museum collections.
Size Marked: S
Measurements:
Pit to pit: 47-54cm
Inner Sleeve: N/A
Length:64cm
Composition: 100% organic non bleached cotton
*Due to the vintage nature of this top, there are some small holes on the top.
