The doyenne of British fashion, Vivienne Westwood and whisky brand Chivas Regal, launched a luxury limited edition Chivas Regal 18 Year Old by Vivienne Westwood at London Fashion Week.

 

With the current design of the Union Jack flag dating back to 1801 and Chivas Brothers' roots also being traced back to that year, the unashamedly OTT bottle appears cloaked in Vivienne Westwood's Union Jack print, as first seen in a Gold Label collection in Paris. This patriotic edition is no shying wallflower just like the punk-fashion guru herself. Westwood uses her expertise in tailoring and cutting, re-imagining the bottle as a figure to be adorned to create a luxurious and unique three-piece coat in her style. Dame Westwood said: "I am English, so it is impossible for me to ignore British culture in my designs.” There are just 2,500 bottles available internationally at an rrp of £400.00. Stockists include Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and Harrods.
