More quotes by Vivienne Westwood
I never look at fashion magazines. I find them incredibly boring.
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
Home, more than anything, means warmth and bed.
Vivienne Westwood
I have certain signatures, certain cutting principles. It could be a raw-edged seam it could be leaving the lining of sheepskin exposed so it's not perfectly finished. I invent new ways to do it, but the end goal is always the same.
Vivienne Westwood
When I'm in the street, the only people I notice are usually at least 70 years old, because they look really stylish.
Vivienne Westwood
I design things to help people to hopefully express their personality.
Vivienne Westwood
I eat only vegetables and fruit, and to me it's the most aspirational diet because it's so easy. It's quite simple, the cooking I do.
Vivienne Westwood
There is so much that people take for granted.
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
It is all about technique. The great mistake of this century is to put inspiration and creativity first.
Vivienne Westwood
I have been asked what would I ban immediately if I could. Advertising.
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
There's always a polemic in my clothes.
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!'
Vivienne Westwood
The most erotic zone is the imagination.
Vivienne Westwood
A relationship should be based on friendship. I remember somebody telling me that when I was younger and I just thought, you know, stupid people, with that rubbish. But now I see that that is so important.
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
Personally I'm not a feminist, as I can't stand puritans.
Vivienne Westwood
Fashion is life-enhancing and I think it's a lovely, generous thing to do for other people.
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
