More quotes by Vivienne Westwood
Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody's buying far too many clothes.
Vivienne Westwood
It's true the punk fashion itself was iconographic: rips and dirt, safety pins, zips, slogans, and hairstyles. These motifs were so iconic in themselves - motifs of rebellion.
Vivienne Westwood
My clothes have a story. They have an identity. They have a character and a purpose. That's why they become classics. Because they keep on telling a story. They are still telling it.
Vivienne Westwood
Feminists wish women to seem like men. They're not men.
Vivienne Westwood
Prince Charles is definitely my hero he uses his position to do only good in this world.
Vivienne Westwood
I try to concentrate on quality clothing and accessories that are worth having, and to get my people to take fewer trips by air and stay longer each time they travel. It’s more human, especially if they take time to visit an art gallery while there.
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
I’m not terribly interested in beauty. What touches me is someone who understands herself.
Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne Westwood
You have a more interesting life if you wear impressive clothes.
Vivienne Westwood
There's always a polemic in my clothes.
Vivienne Westwood
The arts have only ever interested a small minority of people, which acted as a kind of nursery to support artists.
Vivienne Westwood
Every time I have to look up a word in the dictionary, I'm delighted.
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
I do not approve of museums trying just to get people to come in. Whistler was very, very clear on this.
Vivienne Westwood
Women fight for democracy and engage in the world. But they shouldn't try and be copying men and be masculine they should anchor on the home and build on those fundamentals.
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
It's better to look important than sexy.
Vivienne Westwood
Home, more than anything, means warmth and bed.
