I'm always attracted to people who interest me. They've got to be people who are really true to themselves somehow, and who are always trying to do something that makes their life more interesting, or better, or something for somebody else. They're interested in people.

The young need discipline and a full bookcase.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
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.

If we didn't have the Chinese buying things, we'd be on the floor.

I'm a fashion designer and people think, what do I know?
Vivienne Westwood

When I was a little girl you used to learn to sew all the holes in things, darning socks, but nobody mends things anymore.

The young Japanese, especially, love to wear the latest thing and when they come to London they head for my shops as part of what they want to find in Britain.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
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.
