More quotes by Vivienne Westwood
However, because Britain is young and exciting, I did show my second line here once or twice.
Vivienne Westwood
The muscular, athletic type is not representative of the human race, who are varied in their physique.
Vivienne Westwood
Well, I'm very much a literary person. And my fashion always tells a story somehow. I never look at fashion magazines. I find them incredibly boring. To me, reading a fashion magazine is the last thing I need to do. I've got books I need to read.
Vivienne Westwood
Wear a towel instead of a coat, it’s very chic. Or your husband’s boxer shorts with a belt, or something from your grandmother. It’s all about do-it-yourself at the moment.
Vivienne Westwood
If you see everything from the point of view of women being victims in some way, you don't see the wood for the trees. It is better to be a person than a woman.
Vivienne Westwood
Personally I'm not a feminist, as I can't stand puritans.
Vivienne Westwood
I think some people would love to be able to make the clothes I make - and of course, I do influence them, but they keep simplifying, and minimalism doesn't quite work
Vivienne Westwood
I'm different from any other designer, businesswise, in that I've built this company up and I own it. I never had business hype behind me to promote my image... My image is real... I have never had marketing people telling me what to do.
Vivienne Westwood
I think feminists are unaware of the tremendous extent of the role of women in history.
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
I really don't like women who try to be men. All these politicians, I think they're horrendous. We could have a brilliant future, but we have this terrible male vision of destroying everything. They'd better sort themselves out and become more womanly.
Vivienne Westwood
I didn't want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn't like it. I always wanted to do other things.
Vivienne Westwood
The arts have only ever interested a small minority of people, which acted as a kind of nursery to support artists.
Vivienne Westwood
Fashion has become so whatever. I don't think there are any stones left to unturn.
Vivienne Westwood
More people should read books. It's the most concentrated experience you can have.
Vivienne Westwood
If you're too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.
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
I remember reading a book set in the future, it was written in the 1870s projecting to 1920, and this time traveler said you couldn't tell the difference between men and women. He saw what was coming.
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'll tell you what I was like as a child. I was a good person. I was high-spirited but I was a big reader.
