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
What I'm always trying to say to the consumer is: buy less, choose well, make it last.
Vivienne Westwood
At one time, I was very angry. I even treated fashion like a kind of crusade: you were either with us or against us, that kind of feeling. Now I know we need ideas, not kicking down a door.
Vivienne Westwood
To me, reading a fashion magazine is the last thing I need to do. I've got books I need to read.
