More quotes by Vivienne Westwood
I'm a fashion designer and people think, what do I know?
Vivienne Westwood
I don't have faith in young people any more. I don't waste time trying to communicate with them.
Vivienne Westwood
Art should never be sociological it has got to be timeless. It's got to be your vision and how you can represent the world you see.
Vivienne Westwood
If you're too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.
Vivienne Westwood
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
My children came out as individuals in their own right. They were not my products. They had their own characters and were very strong-minded. I gave them a lot of freedom when they were still very young. The one thing they got from me is morals. They would never betray anyone. They are really good people.
Vivienne Westwood
I was a punk before it got its name. I had that hairstyle and purple lipstick.
Vivienne Westwood
Print some money and give it to us for the rain forests.
Vivienne Westwood
I like the Chinese proverb: If a horse is yours, it will always come back!
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
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
The main message we want to get out there is that climate change is caused by the rotten economic system.
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
I always tried to do things by example, even though I was not a very good mother regarding routines and family life.
Vivienne Westwood
I think dress, hairstyle and make-up are the crucial factors in projecting an attractive persona and give one the chance to enhance one's best physical features.
Vivienne Westwood
I've got a real sense of three-dimensional geometry. I can look at a flat piece of fabric and know that if I put a slit in it and make some fabric travel around a square, then when you lift it up it will drape in a certain way, and I can feel how that will happen.
Vivienne Westwood
I very rarely watch my own fashion shows, but the makeup for my Fall 2011 show was just brilliant.
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!'
Vivienne Westwood
Feminists wish women to seem like men. They're not men.
Vivienne Westwood
I have certain signatures, certain cutting principles. It could be a raw-edged seam it could be leaving the lining of sheepskin exposed so it's not perfectly finished. I invent new ways to do it, but the end goal is always the same.
Vivienne Westwood
