Save the rainforest for your loved ones
Vivienne Westwood
We are so conformist nobody is thinking. We are all sucking up stuff we have been trained to be consumers, and we are all consuming far too much.
Vivienne Westwood
Every time I have to look up a word in the dictionary, I'm delighted.
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 remember reading a book set in the future, it was written in the 1870s projecting to 1920, and this time traveler said you couldn't tell the difference between men and women. He saw what was coming.
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
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
Home, more than anything, means warmth and bed.
Vivienne Westwood
Shoes must have very high heels and platforms to put women's beauty on a pedestal.
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.
Vivienne Westwood
It's better to look important than sexy.
Vivienne Westwood
If Mrs Merkel wants to wear Westwood, I can promise that I will design clothes for her that will make her look chic, refined and influential.
Vivienne Westwood
If you're too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.
Vivienne Westwood
My biggest criticism is how can people be so easily satisfied? Even people with talent.
Vivienne Westwood
To me, reading a fashion magazine is the last thing I need to do. I've got books I need to read.
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
Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody's buying far too many clothes.
Vivienne Westwood
I disagree with everything I used to say.
Vivienne Westwood
I don't watch television and I rarely go to the cinema, but I recently watched 'The King's Speech' on a flight. It was so beautiful and so simple.
Vivienne Westwood
Even though it was the 70s, we found old stocks of clothes that had never been worn from the 50s and took them apart. I started to teach myself how to make clothes from that kind of formula.
