Vivienne Westwood
Every time I hear that word, I cringe. Fun! I think it's disgusting it's just running around. It's not my idea of pleasure.

Journalists are usually quite jealous people, especially of intellectuals who are supposed to be in fashion.
Vivienne Westwood
Sometimes you need to transport your idea to an empty landscape and then populate it with fantastic looking people.
Vivienne Westwood
The whole basis of my work is analysing what I do and building some sort of intellectual framework. The only possible effect one can have on the world is through unpopular ideas. They are the only subversion.
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
