Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne Westwood
There is so much that people take for granted.
Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne Westwood
We have got to change our ethics and our financial system and our whole way of understanding the world. It has to be a world in which people live rather than die a sustainable world. It could be great.
Vivienne Westwood
