Image
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.

Image
I just think people should invest in the world. Don't invest in fashion, but invest in the world.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
It's a philosophy of life. A practice. If you do this, something will change, what will change is that you will change, your life will change, and if you can change you, you can perhaps change the world.

I’m not terribly interested in beauty. What touches me is someone who understands herself.

I eat only vegetables and fruit, and to me it's the most aspirational diet because it's so easy. It's quite simple, the cooking I do.

I can't think without my glasses.

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.

I always thought we had an environmental problem, but I hadn't realized how urgent it was. James Lovelock writes that by the end of this century there will be one billion people left.

I may be a rebel, but I am not an outsider.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
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
Image
You've got to invest in the world, you've got to read, you've got to go to art galleries, you've got to find out the names of plants. You've got to start to love the world and know about the whole genius of the human race. We're amazing people.

I'm not sure what I think about current fashion, though. A few years ago, I would have said it's really, really bad and you hardly ever see anybody looking good. There must be some very good designers in the world.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
Fashion has become so whatever. I don't think there are any stones left to unturn.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
I've got a terrible memory it's probably because I'm always concentrating on what I'm doing now.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
Shoes must have very high heels and platforms to put women's beauty on a pedestal.

In history people dressed much better than we do today.

My clothes have always got a very strong dynamic rapport with the body - they are very body conscious, they help you to look glamorous, more hourglass, more woman.

I didn't do anything at the Queen, whom I admire.
