More quotes by Vivienne Westwood
I never look at fashion magazines. I find them incredibly boring.
Vivienne Westwood
But, the thing is, since I always had my own little shop and direct access to the public, I've been able to build up a technique without marketing people ever telling me what the public wants.
Vivienne Westwood
Even though it was the 70s, we found old stocks of clothes that had never been worn from the 50s and took them apart. I started to teach myself how to make clothes from that kind of formula.
Vivienne Westwood
I’m not terribly interested in beauty. What touches me is someone who understands herself.
Vivienne Westwood
Women fight for democracy and engage in the world. But they shouldn't try and be copying men and be masculine they should anchor on the home and build on those fundamentals.
Vivienne Westwood
Intelligence is composed mostly of imagination, insight, things that have nothing to do with reason.
Vivienne Westwood
Everybody should have a fair deal everybody should have the chance to life in this world. If we were evolved as human beings, we would hopefully be able to alleviate suffering in the world.
Vivienne Westwood
The only possible effect one can have on the world is through unpopular ideas.
Vivienne Westwood
The fight is no longer between the classes or between rich and poor but between the idiots and the eco-conscious.

Vivienne Westwood
We are so conformist nobody is thinking. We are all sucking up stuff we have been trained to be consumers, and we are all consuming far too much.
Vivienne Westwood
The young need discipline and a full bookcase.
Vivienne Westwood
I disagree with everything I used to say.
Vivienne Westwood
Buy less, choose well, make it last. Quality rather than quantity: That is true sustainability. If people only bought beautiful things rather than rubbish, we wouldn't have climate change!
Vivienne Westwood
Art should never be sociological it has got to be timeless. It's got to be your vision and how you can represent the world you see.
Vivienne Westwood
What I remember as a child is that other kids didn't care about suffering. I always did.
Vivienne Westwood
Buy less, choose well & do it yourself!
Vivienne Westwood
I used to always fight for human rights. I still fight for Leonard Peltier, who's spent 35 years in jail for a crime he didn't commit.
Vivienne Westwood
A relationship should be based on friendship. I remember somebody telling me that when I was younger and I just thought, you know, stupid people, with that rubbish. But now I see that that is so important.
Vivienne Westwood
And it's absolutely great, when everything comes together with the hair, the dresses and the makeup and the models and the music and the presentation. I can't get over these girls. They look wonderful. But by the time we finish with them, they look like they came from another planet. And I just think it's great.
