More quotes by Vivienne Westwood
I'm not sure what I think about current fashion, though. A few years ago, I would have said it's really, really bad and you hardly ever see anybody looking good. There must be some very good designers in the world.
Vivienne Westwood
The main message of Climate Revolution is that climate change is caused by the rotten financial system we've got, designed to create poverty and rip off any profits for a small amount of rich people. Meanwhile, it destroys the earth.
Vivienne Westwood
I don't care if you get up in the morning and don't wash, don't put any make-up on, don't do your hair, even, but you have to have clothes if you want to look different.
Vivienne Westwood
If you hear Anarchy in the UK today your hair stands on end. It gives you the shivers.

I have too much product, and I'm trying to rein it in and sell more of my main collection. I wish you didn't have to design so often it would be good if you could keep on selling the same things for a few years and not have to do new things all the time.
Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne Westwood
When I first saw a picture of the crucifixion, I lost respect for my parents. I suddenly realised that this is what the adult world is like - full of cruelty and hypocrisy.
Vivienne Westwood
I'm frugal. I'm not a very acquisitive woman. I never waste food. If you prepare your own food, you engage with the world, it tastes alive. It tastes good.
Vivienne Westwood
I was born during the war and grew up in a time of rationing. We didn't have anything. It's influenced the way I look at the world.
Vivienne Westwood
There’s this idea that somehow you’ve got to keep changing things, and as often as possible. Maybe if people just decided not to buy anything for a while, they’d get a chance to think about what they wanted what they really liked.
Vivienne Westwood
I always thought we had an environmental problem, but I hadn't realized how urgent it was. James Lovelock writes that by the end of this century there will be one billion people left.
Vivienne Westwood
Everybody looks like clones and the only people you notice are my age. I don't notice anybody unless they look great, and every now and again they do, and they are usually 70.
Vivienne Westwood
I just think people should invest in the world. Don't invest in fashion, but invest in the world.
Vivienne Westwood
The migrants are not a temporary crisis. The crisis is mounting.
Vivienne Westwood
I have always loved the Mao cap, though I hate violent revolution.
