Image
I've always felt heroic about my life... As a child, I remember little girls in the playground moaning about how boys could do more than they could. I didn't think that was the case at all. My parents didn't treat me as a girl.

I don't feel comfortable defending my clothes. But if you've got the money to afford them, then buy something from me. Just don't buy too much.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
Buy less, choose well, make it last. Quality rather than quantity: That is true sustainability. If people only bought beautiful things rather than rubbish, we wouldn't have climate change!

Fasion is about eventually becoming naked.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
There is no hierarchy of values any more. Real progress is due mainly to human genius, and that's rare, and usually stems from a real elite, from a hierarchy.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
I wish you didn't have to design so often. Try to do quality and cut down on quantity. I think fashion is very, very important.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
What I'm always trying to say to the consumer is: buy less, choose well, make it last.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
I tend not to like an awful lot of what is going out under my name now because it is just all product. Who needs it?
Vivienne Westwood
Image
If you're too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
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.

I very rarely watch my own fashion shows, but the makeup for my Fall 2011 show was just brilliant.
