Wandsworth Council has approved the fashion brand's plans to modernise and extend two buildings, in Battersea, to support its international growth. The redevelopment means Vivienne Westwood's headquarters will stay in Battersea, which the brand has called home since 1995. The new building will bring together all of the company's departments under one roof as part of a restructuring of the fashion house, while providing more space for the brand's expected growth over the next 15 years.
