Vivienne Westwood Styled BRIT Statue unveiled
13 January 2011
The BRITs have created a new blank canvas' trophy which will be restyled each year by leading British creative individuals, making the trophy unique to each year.
This year's bespoke statue has been styled by influential fashion designer, Vivienne Westwood.
BRITs Chairman David Joseph said: "Vivienne stands for all the things we want to inspire in tomorrow's generation of artists. She continues to be unique, innovative not to mention massively inspired by music and vice versa. We are honoured she accepted our offer of designing 2011's trophy."
The exciting creative partnership between The BRIT Awards and Vivienne Westwood signifies the close association between fashion and music that has always distinguished British music from the rest of the world. From The Beatles and their sharp, matching suits to the punk and new romantic movement that Westwood has influenced, The BRIT Awards will continue this tradition as it moves forward into a new era.
The ceremony itself will be held at its new home The O2 in London on Tuesday 15th February and will be broadcast live on ITV1 at 8pm.
As the countdown to The BRIT Awards 2011 begins, the excitement continues to build for what is set to be he most memorable BRITs to date.
