More quotes by Vivienne Westwood
I didn't want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn't like it. I always wanted to do other things.
Vivienne Westwood
In history people dressed much better than we do today.
Vivienne Westwood
I have too much product, and I'm trying to rein it in and sell more of my main collection. I wish you didn't have to design so often it would be good if you could keep on selling the same things for a few years and not have to do new things all the time.
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've got a terrible memory it's probably because I'm always concentrating on what I'm doing now.
Vivienne Westwood
Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.
Vivienne Westwood
I'm always attracted to people who interest me. They've got to be people who are really true to themselves somehow, and who are always trying to do something that makes their life more interesting, or better, or something for somebody else. They're interested in people.
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
I like the Chinese proverb: If a horse is yours, it will always come back!
Vivienne Westwood
I’m not terribly interested in beauty. What touches me is someone who understands herself.
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
If we didn't have the Chinese buying things, we'd be on the floor.
Vivienne Westwood
People have never looked so ugly as they do today. We just consume far too much.
Vivienne Westwood
I think that feminists have definitely underestimated the role that women have had historically. I think I would be insecure if I were to be a man there's so much pressure on you.
Vivienne Westwood
My aim is to make the poor look rich and the rich look poor.
Vivienne Westwood
Feminists wish women to seem like men. They're not men.
Vivienne Westwood
I am attracted to people who make this effort in knowing what suits them - they are individual and stylish.
Vivienne Westwood
A relationship should be based on friendship. I remember somebody telling me that when I was younger and I just thought, you know, stupid people, with that rubbish. But now I see that that is so important.
Vivienne Westwood
I may be a rebel, but I am not an outsider.
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
