Westwood worked closely with Richard Branson to design uniforms for Virgin Atlantic crew. The uniform for the female crew consisted of a red suit, which accentuated the women’s curves and hips, and had strategically placed darts around the bust area.
In 2013, sustainable luxury fashion publication Eluxe Magazine accused Westwood of using the green movement as a marketing tool on the basis that certain Westwood fashion and accessories lines are made in China. 
These were found to include PVC, polyester, rayon and viscose, all derived from harmful chemicals.[69] Eluxe also pointed out that, in spite of Westwood’s statements that consumers should ‘buy less’, her company produces nine collections a year (compared to the average designer’s two) Westwood was also accused of using unpaid interns in her fashions house and making them work over 40 hours per week, some interns have complained about how they had been treated by the fashion house.
