Stylist Rosie Boydell-Wiles had the Vivienne Westwood team craft a checked shirt like the ones her late father wore.
When Rosie Boydell-Wiles’s mum took her to a Vivienne Westwood retrospective at the V&A when she was 10, she instantly became a super fan – as a teenager she scoured Topshop for all things tartan and covered her walls in the brand’s ad campaigns, and she now works as a personal stylist and as part of the Vivienne Westwood team, as a bridal specialist and couture consultant.
There was no question of what Rosie would wear on her official wedding day last July. “When Vivienne died, friends messaged me as if she was a relative because they knew how much I idolised her,” Rosie explains of her emotional connection to the designer.
“I sent my Dad’s actual shirt to the designer Aleks and she copied the shape of it exactly, so that I would feel like I was wearing one of his shirts on the day,” Rosie explains. “She then cut a heart out of the inner chest pocket of my dad’s original shirt and sewed it into the pocket of my new shirt, so that I’d have a piece of my him with me as I walked down the aisle for this important moment he should have been at my side for.
