I'm not sure what I think about current fashion, though. A few years ago, I would have said it's really, really bad and you hardly ever see anybody looking good. There must be some very good designers in the world.

More quotes by Vivienne Westwood
I don't care how many beauty treatments you have, I don't care which bag you're carrying - you have to have a dress.
Vivienne Westwood
Wear a towel instead of a coat, it’s very chic. Or your husband’s boxer shorts with a belt, or something from your grandmother. It’s all about do-it-yourself at the moment.
Vivienne Westwood
We wanted to step off our island and add the color of the third world. We got gold cigarette paper and stuck it around our teeth. We really did look like pirates and dressed to look the part.
Vivienne Westwood
I'm frugal. I'm not a very acquisitive woman. I never waste food. If you prepare your own food, you engage with the world, it tastes alive. It tastes good.
Vivienne Westwood
In Italy they take cheap cloth and make it look expensive, but I take expensive cloth and make it look cheap. They just don't understand.
Vivienne Westwood
I like the Chinese proverb: If a horse is yours, it will always come back!
Vivienne Westwood
I think it's important to vote.
Vivienne Westwood
I was a punk before it got its name. I had that hairstyle and purple lipstick.
Vivienne Westwood
Fashion has become so whatever. I don't think there are any stones left to unturn.
Vivienne Westwood
Why do people think that if you don't dress up, others will appreciate your beauty more - that style will somehow emanate from you? It's rubbish. If you dress up it helps your personality to emerge - if you choose well
Vivienne Westwood
I’m not terribly interested in beauty. What touches me is someone who understands herself.
Vivienne Westwood
But, the thing is, since I always had my own little shop and direct access to the public, I've been able to build up a technique without marketing people ever telling me what the public wants.
Vivienne Westwood
The sexiest people are thinkers.
Vivienne Westwood
Art should never be sociological it has got to be timeless. It's got to be your vision and how you can represent the world you see.
Vivienne Westwood
I was so upset with what was going on in the world. I just couldn't stand the idea of being people tortured and that we even had such a thing as war. I hated the older generation, who had not done anything about it. Punk was a call-to-arms for me.
Vivienne Westwood
The capitalist system is about taking from the Earth and from the other great commodity, labour. What's happening with this system is that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, and the only way out of it is supposed to be growth. But growth is debt. It's going to make the situation worse.
Vivienne Westwood
I think feminists are unaware of the tremendous extent of the role of women in history.
Vivienne Westwood
When I first saw a picture of the crucifixion, I lost respect for my parents. I suddenly realised that this is what the adult world is like - full of cruelty and hypocrisy.
Vivienne Westwood
It's better to look important than sexy.
Vivienne Westwood
Every time I hear that word, I cringe. Fun! I think it's disgusting it's just running around. It's not my idea of pleasure.
