We moved into the back, made it into a little 50s sitting room and started to sell the records. We had an immediate success. For one thing, these Teddy Boys were thrilled to buy the records.

More quotes by Vivienne Westwood
You have a more interesting life if you wear impressive clothes.
Vivienne Westwood
I am attracted to people who make this effort in knowing what suits them - they are individual and stylish.
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
I didn't know how a working-class girl like me could possibly make a living in the art world
Vivienne Westwood
I don't have faith in young people any more. I don't waste time trying to communicate with them.
Vivienne Westwood
I do think if you aim for quality, it's not so much about consumerism. The idea is 'Buy less, choose well, make it last.'
Vivienne Westwood
If we didn't have the Chinese buying things, we'd be on the floor.
Vivienne Westwood
I have been asked what would I ban immediately if I could. Advertising.
Vivienne Westwood
Fashion is life-enhancing and I think it's a lovely, generous thing to do for other people.
Vivienne Westwood
My aim is to make the poor look rich and the rich look poor.
Vivienne Westwood
Fasion is about eventually becoming naked.
Vivienne Westwood
I do have reasons for what I do. I am a very political person, and I really think if you put these clothes on, you will look like a force to be reckoned with.
Vivienne Westwood
The migrants are not a temporary crisis. The crisis is mounting.
Vivienne Westwood
There's nowhere else like London. Nothing at all, anywhere.
Vivienne Westwood
I have a company, and I've got to think about that. I'm trying to do my best there, and that's a much harder task. We recycle as much as possible, and we conserve. But I've always been one to save everything - I even walk up stairs on the very inside or the very outside to not wear out the tread.
Vivienne Westwood
There is so much that people take for granted.
Vivienne Westwood
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.
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.
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 age in which we live, this non-stop distraction, is making it more impossible for the young generation to ever have the curiosity or discipline... because you need to be alone to find out anything.
Vivienne Westwood
