I remember reading a book set in the future, it was written in the 1870s projecting to 1920, and this time traveler said you couldn't tell the difference between men and women. He saw what was coming.

At one time, I was very angry. I even treated fashion like a kind of crusade: you were either with us or against us, that kind of feeling. Now I know we need ideas, not kicking down a door.

The only reason I'm in fashion is to destroy the word conformity.

I don't feel comfortable defending my clothes. But if you've got the money to afford them, then buy something from me. Just don't buy too much.
Vivienne Westwood

My fashion advice is to have a flattering mirror and then forget about it.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
I was so upset with what was going on in the world. I just couldn't stand the idea of being people tortured and that we even had such a thing as war. I hated the older generation, who had not done anything about it. Punk was a call-to-arms for me.

Economists treat economics as if it is a pure science divorced from the facts of life. The result of this false accountancy is a willful confusion under cover of which industry wreaks its havoc scot-free and ignores the environmental cost.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
I was a punk before it got its name. I had that hairstyle and purple lipstick.
Vivienne Westwood

My son has followed fashion since he was a punk. He and I agree that fashion is about sex.

I don't have space to enter into the examples or the history of this, so I'm left with having to make the bold statement that culture is extinct.
