Shoes must have very high heels and platforms to put women's beauty on a pedestal.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
Everybody should have a fair deal everybody should have the chance to life in this world. If we were evolved as human beings, we would hopefully be able to alleviate suffering in the world.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
We have got to change our ethics and our financial system and our whole way of understanding the world. It has to be a world in which people live rather than die a sustainable world. It could be great.
Vivienne Westwood

I just think people should invest in the world. Don't invest in fashion, but invest in the world.

I'm not trying to do something different, I'm trying to do the same thing but in a different way
Vivienne Westwood
Image
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.

I like to literally put women on a pedestal
Vivienne Westwood

You've got to invest in the world, you've got to read, you've got to go to art galleries, you've got to find out the names of plants. You've got to start to love the world and know about the whole genius of the human race. We're amazing people.

Home, more than anything, means warmth and bed.
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
Image
It is extremely difficult to say how long the process actually took to finally achieve my fragrance, Boudoir, because there was a lot of time waiting around for other people.
