There's always a polemic in my clothes.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
The arts have only ever interested a small minority of people, which acted as a kind of nursery to support artists.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
I think dress, hairstyle and make-up are the crucial factors in projecting an attractive persona and give one the chance to enhance one's best physical features.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
In the morning, I practice 15 minutes of yoga.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
If you're too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
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.
Vivienne Westwood
