My son has followed fashion since he was a punk. He and I agree that fashion is about sex.
Vivienne Westwood

I'm different from any other designer, businesswise, in that I've built this company up and I own it. I never had business hype behind me to promote my image... My image is real... I have never had marketing people telling me what to do.

I love designing at the moment, I'm so happy with my work.

We wanted to step off our island and add the color of the third world. We got gold cigarette paper and stuck it around our teeth. We really did look like pirates and dressed to look the part.

I think feminists are unaware of the tremendous extent of the role of women in history.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
I was so upset with what was going on in the world. I just couldn't stand the idea of being people tortured and that we even had such a thing as war. I hated the older generation, who had not done anything about it. Punk was a call-to-arms for me.

The arts have only ever interested a small minority of people, which acted as a kind of nursery to support artists.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
And it's absolutely great, when everything comes together with the hair, the dresses and the makeup and the models and the music and the presentation. I can't get over these girls. They look wonderful. But by the time we finish with them, they look like they came from another planet. And I just think it's great.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
If you wear clothes that don't suit you, you're a fashion victim. You have to wear clothes that make you look better.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
I think it is terribly important to have opinions, and to think. We live in a world of action without thought.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
I can't think without my glasses.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
I think that feminists have definitely underestimated the role that women have had historically. I think I would be insecure if I were to be a man there's so much pressure on you.
