There is no hierarchy of values any more. Real progress is due mainly to human genius, and that's rare, and usually stems from a real elite, from a hierarchy.

More quotes by 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
My children came out as individuals in their own right. They were not my products. They had their own characters and were very strong-minded. I gave them a lot of freedom when they were still very young. The one thing they got from me is morals. They would never betray anyone. They are really good people.
Vivienne Westwood
My fashion advice is to have a flattering mirror and then forget about it.
Vivienne Westwood
If we didn't have the Chinese buying things, we'd be on the floor.
Vivienne Westwood
When we started to do punk, we put all of these things together to create the look of an urban guerrilla - a rebel.
Vivienne Westwood
The sexiest people are thinkers.
Vivienne Westwood
Home, more than anything, means warmth and bed.
Vivienne Westwood
Buy less, choose well: that's the maxim. Quality not quantity. That's the most environmentally friendly thing you can do.
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
How impossible it is for us to imagine ourselves victims of disaster. We suffer for the poor people who were thrown into the sea from their cruise ship off the coast of Tuscany, some losing their lives. Imagine a world of accelerating natural disasters, one after the other so that nobody can help anyone else.
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
I don't feel comfortable defending my clothes. But if you've got the money to afford them, then buy something from me. Just don't buy too much.
Vivienne Westwood
What I remember as a child is that other kids didn't care about suffering. I always did.
Vivienne Westwood
I've got a terrible memory it's probably because I'm always concentrating on what I'm doing now.
Vivienne Westwood
I was so upset with what was going on in the world. I just couldn't stand the idea of being people tortured and that we even had such a thing as war. I hated the older generation, who had not done anything about it. Punk was a call-to-arms for me.
Vivienne Westwood
When I was a little girl you used to learn to sew all the holes in things, darning socks, but nobody mends things anymore.
Vivienne Westwood
In the morning, I practice 15 minutes of yoga.
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
There's always a polemic in my clothes.
Vivienne Westwood
If you're too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.
