More quotes by Vivienne Westwood
I eat only vegetables and fruit, and to me it's the most aspirational diet because it's so easy. It's quite simple, the cooking I do.
Vivienne Westwood
In history people dressed much better than we do today.
Vivienne Westwood
We are so conformist nobody is thinking. We are all sucking up stuff we have been trained to be consumers, and we are all consuming far too much.
Vivienne Westwood
I was the first person to have a punk rock hairstyle.
Vivienne Westwood
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.
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 didn't consider myself a fashion designer at all at the time of punk. I was just using fashion as a way to express my resistance and to be rebellious. I came from the country, and by the time I got to London, I considered myself to be very stupid. It was my ambition to understand the world I live in.
Vivienne Westwood
The best fashion accessory is a book.
Vivienne Westwood
I'm always attracted to people who interest me. They've got to be people who are really true to themselves somehow, and who are always trying to do something that makes their life more interesting, or better, or something for somebody else. They're interested in people.
Vivienne Westwood
I don't feel comfortable defending my clothes. But if you've got the money to afford them, then buy something from me. Just don't buy too much.
Vivienne Westwood
The young need discipline and a full bookcase.
Vivienne Westwood
I never look at fashion magazines. I find them incredibly boring.
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
My clothes are very popular in Japan.
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
I don't think punk fashion is a specter or overemphasized - it made a big impression, as there had never been anything like it before.
Vivienne Westwood
Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody's buying far too many clothes.
Vivienne Westwood
My biggest criticism is how can people be so easily satisfied? Even people with talent.
Vivienne Westwood
I have been asked what would I ban immediately if I could. Advertising.
Vivienne Westwood
I have too much product, and I'm trying to rein it in and sell more of my main collection. I wish you didn't have to design so often it would be good if you could keep on selling the same things for a few years and not have to do new things all the time.
Vivienne Westwood
