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
We have got to change our ethics and our financial system and our whole way of understanding the world. It has to be a world in which people live rather than die a sustainable world. It could be great.
Vivienne Westwood
There's always a polemic in my clothes.
Vivienne Westwood
The thing that makes my clothes really different is that, number one, they are really great designs they're not tacky they are very professional the design is made from lots of decisions.
Vivienne Westwood
In history people dressed much better than we do today.
Vivienne Westwood
