More quotes by Vivienne Westwood
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.
Vivienne Westwood
The main message of Climate Revolution is that climate change is caused by the rotten financial system we've got, designed to create poverty and rip off any profits for a small amount of rich people. Meanwhile, it destroys the earth.
Vivienne Westwood
The migrants are not a temporary crisis. The crisis is mounting.
Vivienne Westwood
My aim is to make the poor look rich and the rich look poor.
Vivienne Westwood
More people should read books. It's the most concentrated experience you can have.
Vivienne Westwood
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
There is so much that people take for granted.
Vivienne Westwood
Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody's buying far too many clothes.
Vivienne Westwood
Our economic system, run for profit and waste and based primarily on the extractive industries, is the cause of climate change. We have wasted the earth's treasure and we can no longer exploit it cheaply.
Vivienne Westwood
And it's absolutely great, when everything comes together with the hair, the dresses and the makeup and the models and the music and the presentation. I can't get over these girls. They look wonderful. But by the time we finish with them, they look like they came from another planet. And I just think it's great.
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
Personally I'm not a feminist, as I can't stand puritans.
Vivienne Westwood
I do think if you aim for quality, it's not so much about consumerism. The idea is 'Buy less, choose well, make it last.'
Vivienne Westwood
The young Japanese, especially, love to wear the latest thing and when they come to London they head for my shops as part of what they want to find in Britain.
Vivienne Westwood
I have considered voting Conservative because I am so against the Labour party.
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 didn't consider myself a fashion designer at all at the time of punk. I was just using fashion as a way to express my resistance and to be rebellious. I came from the country, and by the time I got to London, I considered myself to be very stupid. It was my ambition to understand the world I live in.
Vivienne Westwood
I'm a fashion designer and people think, what do I know?
Vivienne Westwood
I didn't know how a working-class girl like me could possibly make a living in the art world
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.
