Join us for our Vivienne Westwood Trunkshow. 11.22 -12.1
Spots are limited. Link in bio.

The 2025 collection is the first bridal collection designed after the passing of Dame Vivienne Westwood and inspired by the history of fashion and true love woven by Queen Victoria, Black and White are the colors chosen across this bridal collection as a way to express deep and enduring love.
We looked at the historical shapes and the chosen colors as explores by the brand in the past until more recent days. We looked at Vivienne herself as source of inspiration for the styling and the concepts she believed in such as DIY – for the collection that is greatly composed of transformative pieces that allow a multitude of looks and combinations. And “buy less, choose well, make it last” – as the bridal looks are designed to be worn beyond the wedding day.

Jessica in 💦



Jessica traveled from out of state to try on DiPetsa and knew this designer was the one. This is why we do what we do. Another dream bride with incredible taste and also just a beautiful and talented person. Jess customized her look with a hand twisted neckline and indicated the “wet spots” she wished to see. Thank you for being my first Di Petsa bride and making our dedication to up and coming designers worth it ♥️
