The thing that makes my clothes really different is that, number one, they are really great designs they're not tacky they are very professional the design is made from lots of decisions.
Vivienne Westwood
I was a punk before it got its name. I had that hairstyle and purple lipstick.

Vivienne Westwood
I talk to fashion designers and say I want some money to save the rainforest, and they say, 'Oh, I agree with you completely Vivienne. Yes, climate change, it's definitely happening,' but they don't feel that they can do anything about it they don't even think 'Well let's stop it!'
