Personally I'm not a feminist, as I can't stand puritans.
Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne Westwood
I have always loved the Mao cap, though I hate violent revolution.
Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne Westwood
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.
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

Vivienne Westwood
