More quotes by Vivienne Westwood
I don't care how many beauty treatments you have, I don't care which bag you're carrying - you have to have a dress.
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
To me, reading a fashion magazine is the last thing I need to do. I've got books I need to read.
Vivienne Westwood
People have never looked so ugly as they do today. We just consume far too much.
Vivienne Westwood
I'm a fashion designer and people think, what do I know?
Vivienne Westwood
I was born during the war and grew up in a time of rationing. We didn't have anything. It's influenced the way I look at the world.

There is a real connection between culture and climate change. We all have a part to play and if you engage with life, you will get a new set of values, get off the consumer treadmill, and start to think, and it is these great thinkers who will rescue the planet.
Vivienne Westwood
There's always a polemic in my clothes.
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
The best night of my life was watching the Japanese Noh theater. I've only seen it once, but even saying it now, I think, 'How can I ever have this experience again?' It was so mesmerizing, so complicated and so primordial I could not believe it.
Vivienne Westwood
My fashion advice is to have a flattering mirror and then forget about it.
Vivienne Westwood
What I'm always trying to say to the consumer is: buy less, choose well, make it last.
Vivienne Westwood
I didn't know how a working-class girl like me could possibly make a living in the art world
Vivienne Westwood
When I was a little girl you used to learn to sew all the holes in things, darning socks, but nobody mends things anymore.
Vivienne Westwood
I'm not trying to do something different, I'm trying to do the same thing but in a different way
Vivienne Westwood
I didn't do anything at the Queen, whom I admire.
Vivienne Westwood
Intelligence is composed mostly of imagination, insight, things that have nothing to do with reason.
Vivienne Westwood
In the 18th century, if women wanted to travel and they dressed as a man, people would not look twice. Your clothes said everything. Also there were masters and servants swapping clothes. You could be anything, your clothes told everything!
Vivienne Westwood
Our economic system, run for profit and waste and based primarily on the extractive industries, is the cause of climate change. We have wasted the earth's treasure and we can no longer exploit it cheaply.
Vivienne Westwood
How impossible it is for us to imagine ourselves victims of disaster. We suffer for the poor people who were thrown into the sea from their cruise ship off the coast of Tuscany, some losing their lives. Imagine a world of accelerating natural disasters, one after the other so that nobody can help anyone else.
Vivienne Westwood
