Vivienne Westwood
I disagree with everything I used to say.
Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne Westwood
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
