More quotes by Vivienne Westwood
There is so much that people take for granted.
Vivienne Westwood
In the 18th century, if women wanted to travel and they dressed as a man, people would not look twice. Your clothes said everything. Also there were masters and servants swapping clothes. You could be anything, your clothes told everything!
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.

It is all about technique. The great mistake of this century is to put inspiration and creativity first.
Vivienne Westwood
It's a philosophy of life. A practice. If you do this, something will change, what will change is that you will change, your life will change, and if you can change you, you can perhaps change the world.
Vivienne Westwood
I always thought we had an environmental problem, but I hadn't realized how urgent it was. James Lovelock writes that by the end of this century there will be one billion people left.
Vivienne Westwood
I think feminists are unaware of the tremendous extent of the role of women in history.
Vivienne Westwood
I am attracted to people who make this effort in knowing what suits them - they are individual and stylish.
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
I am always trying to find fabrics that are more friendly to the environment - working with Virgin Atlantic, they managed to research into this and find more eco fabrics.
Vivienne Westwood
My clothes have always got a very strong dynamic rapport with the body - they are very body conscious, they help you to look glamorous, more hourglass, more woman.
