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.

The best fashion accessory is a book.
Vivienne Westwood
My clothes have a story. They have an identity. They have a character and a purpose. That's why they become classics. Because they keep on telling a story. They are still telling it.
Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne Westwood
My son has followed fashion since he was a punk. He and I agree that fashion is about sex.
Vivienne Westwood
Fashion is here to help make people look very important. If they have good taste and choose what suits them, I give them options on how they can do that. It's always sexy, and it's always with the same result: making women look fantastic.
Vivienne Westwood
The hippie movement politicized my generation. When it ended, we all started looking back at our own history, looking, in my case, for motives of rebellion.
Vivienne Westwood
Economists treat economics as if it is a pure science divorced from the facts of life. The result of this false accountancy is a willful confusion under cover of which industry wreaks its havoc scot-free and ignores the environmental cost.
Vivienne Westwood
If you're too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.
Vivienne Westwood
Intelligence is composed mostly of imagination, insight, things that have nothing to do with reason.
Vivienne Westwood
I do have reasons for what I do. I am a very political person, and I really think if you put these clothes on, you will look like a force to be reckoned with.
Vivienne Westwood
