More quotes by Vivienne Westwood
Shoes must have very high heels and platforms to put women's beauty on a pedestal.
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

Vivienne Westwood
I have always loved the Mao cap, though I hate violent revolution.
Vivienne Westwood
I'm frugal. I'm not a very acquisitive woman. I never waste food. If you prepare your own food, you engage with the world, it tastes alive. It tastes good.
Vivienne Westwood
I love designing at the moment, I'm so happy with my work.
Vivienne Westwood
It is all about technique. The great mistake of this century is to put inspiration and creativity first.
Vivienne Westwood
I'm a fashion designer and people think, what do I know?
Vivienne Westwood
I really don't like women who try to be men. All these politicians, I think they're horrendous. We could have a brilliant future, but we have this terrible male vision of destroying everything. They'd better sort themselves out and become more womanly.
Vivienne Westwood
We are so conformist nobody is thinking. We are all sucking up stuff we have been trained to be consumers, and we are all consuming far too much.
Vivienne Westwood
