I like to literally put women on a pedestal
Vivienne Westwood
Nothing is costed properly and it's destroying the earth. We need to re-educate people that what is good for the planet is good for the financial system.
Vivienne Westwood
I own my own company, so I've never had businessmen telling me what to do or getting worried if something doesn't sell. I've always had my own access to the public, because I started off making my clothes for a little shop and so I've always had people buying them.
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.

I have been asked what would I ban immediately if I could. Advertising.
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
I just use fashion as an excuse to talk about politics. Because I'm a fashion designer, it gives me a voice, which is really good.
Vivienne Westwood
If you dress up, it helps your personality to emerge - if you choose well.
Vivienne Westwood
There are many war refugees and three times as many climate refugees. All of them are people who can no longer live where they were born. I hope we face reality in time to save ourselves. We will all be migrants soon.
Vivienne Westwood
There's nowhere else like London. Nothing at all, anywhere.
Vivienne Westwood
My aim is to make the poor look rich and the rich look poor.
Vivienne Westwood
Liverpool people are famous for liking clothes and fashion they are very social and lively people, and we know that they like clothes.
Vivienne Westwood
Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody's buying far too many clothes.
