More quotes by Vivienne Westwood
Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody's buying far too many clothes.
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
However, because Britain is young and exciting, I did show my second line here once or twice.
Vivienne Westwood
Intelligence is composed mostly of imagination, insight, things that have nothing to do with reason.
Vivienne Westwood
The muscular, athletic type is not representative of the human race, who are varied in their physique.
Vivienne Westwood
I don't think punk fashion is a specter or overemphasized - it made a big impression, as there had never been anything like it before.
Vivienne Westwood
I never look at fashion magazines. I find them incredibly boring.
Vivienne Westwood
How impossible it is for us to imagine ourselves victims of disaster. We suffer for the poor people who were thrown into the sea from their cruise ship off the coast of Tuscany, some losing their lives. Imagine a world of accelerating natural disasters, one after the other so that nobody can help anyone else.
Vivienne Westwood
I don't watch television and I rarely go to the cinema, but I recently watched 'The King's Speech' on a flight. It was so beautiful and so simple.
Vivienne Westwood
Fashion is life-enhancing and I think it's a lovely, generous thing to do for other people.
Vivienne Westwood
It's a philosophy of life. A practice. If you do this, something will change, what will change is that you will change, your life will change, and if you can change you, you can perhaps change the world.
Vivienne Westwood
Don't just eat McDonald's, get something a bit better. Eat a salad. That's what fashion is. It's something that is a bit better.
Vivienne Westwood
I always tried to do things by example, even though I was not a very good mother regarding routines and family life.
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
The most erotic zone is the imagination.
Vivienne Westwood
What I remember as a child is that other kids didn't care about suffering. I always did.
Vivienne Westwood
Fashion has become so whatever. I don't think there are any stones left to unturn.
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
It's true the punk fashion itself was iconographic: rips and dirt, safety pins, zips, slogans, and hairstyles. These motifs were so iconic in themselves - motifs of rebellion.
