Vivienne Westwood
Image
I wish you didn't have to design so often. Try to do quality and cut down on quantity. I think fashion is very, very important.

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

To me, reading a fashion magazine is the last thing I need to do. I've got books I need to read.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
Buy less, choose well, make it last. Quality rather than quantity: That is true sustainability. If people only bought beautiful things rather than rubbish, we wouldn't have climate change!
Vivienne Westwood
Image
The whole basis of my work is analysing what I do and building some sort of intellectual framework. The only possible effect one can have on the world is through unpopular ideas. They are the only subversion.

I have considered voting Conservative because I am so against the Labour party.
