Vivienne Westwood
Being part of a community with a church at its centre and singin' hymns is a great thing to do.
Vivienne Westwood
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!
Vivienne Westwood
Fasion is about eventually becoming naked.
Vivienne Westwood
The sexiest people are thinkers.
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 do think if you aim for quality, it's not so much about consumerism. The idea is 'Buy less, choose well, make it last.'
Vivienne Westwood
A status symbol is a book. A very easy book to read is The Catcher in the Rye. Walk around with that under your arm, kids. That is status.
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
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
I was still interested in the youth rebellion but never-the-less I stopped being a victim. Stopped trying to attack the establishment realizing that it takes too much of your energy.
Vivienne Westwood
I’m not terribly interested in beauty. What touches me is someone who understands herself.
Vivienne Westwood
But, having a perfume and license, in general, is a financial necessity. A designer must, to reap back the money spent on prototypes and all that sort of thing.
Vivienne Westwood
I think it is terribly important to have opinions, and to think. We live in a world of action without thought.
Vivienne Westwood
If you're too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.
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!'
