"Hypnos" drew inspiration from classical Greek art, evident in the draped silhouettes and fluid lines that characterized many of the garments. Westwood's innovative use of synthetic sports fabrics, such as nylon jersey, introduced a modern twist to these ancient motifs, reflecting her ability to juxtapose the old with the new.

The collection featured oversized trench coats, seersucker dresses, and sports-inspired ensembles, all reimagined with Westwood's avant-garde sensibilities. The incorporation of bondage elements, a nod to her earlier punk aesthetic, was subtly integrated into the designs, creating a harmonious blend of rebellion and refinement.

"Hypnos" not only solidified Vivienne Westwood's reputation as a pioneering designer but also demonstrated her adeptness at merging disparate influences into cohesive and groundbreaking fashion statements.
