More quotes by Vivienne Westwood
I think it's important to vote.
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
All that self-expression has just created a generation of morons, hooked on an endless appetite for rubbish.
Vivienne Westwood
Nothing is costed properly and it's destroying the earth. We need to re-educate people that what is good for the planet is good for the financial system.
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
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
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
I am always trying to find fabrics that are more friendly to the environment - working with Virgin Atlantic, they managed to research into this and find more eco fabrics.
Vivienne Westwood
The fight is no longer between the classes or between rich and poor but between the idiots and the eco-conscious.
Vivienne Westwood
I design things to help people to hopefully express their personality.
Vivienne Westwood
Prince Charles is definitely my hero he uses his position to do only good in this world.
Vivienne Westwood
Even though it was the 70s, we found old stocks of clothes that had never been worn from the 50s and took them apart. I started to teach myself how to make clothes from that kind of formula.
Vivienne Westwood
I remember reading a book set in the future, it was written in the 1870s projecting to 1920, and this time traveler said you couldn't tell the difference between men and women. He saw what was coming.
Vivienne Westwood
I'm different from any other designer, businesswise, in that I've built this company up and I own it. I never had business hype behind me to promote my image... My image is real... I have never had marketing people telling me what to do.
Vivienne Westwood
I was a punk before it got its name. I had that hairstyle and purple lipstick.
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
But, having a perfume and license, in general, is a financial necessity. A designer must, to reap back the money spent on prototypes and all that sort of thing.
Vivienne Westwood
When I'm in the street, the only people I notice are usually at least 70 years old, because they look really stylish.
Vivienne Westwood
The best fashion accessory is a book.
Vivienne Westwood
A status symbol is a book. A very easy book to read is The Catcher in the Rye. Walk around with that under your arm, kids. That is status.
Vivienne Westwood
