Vivienne Westwood
And it's absolutely great, when everything comes together with the hair, the dresses and the makeup and the models and the music and the presentation. I can't get over these girls. They look wonderful. But by the time we finish with them, they look like they came from another planet. And I just think it's great.

Vivienne Westwood
Everybody looks like clones and the only people you notice are my age. I don't notice anybody unless they look great, and every now and again they do, and they are usually 70.
Vivienne Westwood
The age in which we live, this non-stop distraction, is making it more impossible for the young generation to ever have the curiosity or discipline... because you need to be alone to find out anything.
Vivienne Westwood
I don't have space to enter into the examples or the history of this, so I'm left with having to make the bold statement that culture is extinct.
Vivienne Westwood
We are the most amazing creatures that this world has ever produced, but we seem to also have this herd mentality we seem to be the most stupid, also.
Vivienne Westwood
Women fight for democracy and engage in the world. But they shouldn't try and be copying men and be masculine they should anchor on the home and build on those fundamentals.
Vivienne Westwood

How impossible it is for us to imagine ourselves victims of disaster. We suffer for the poor people who were thrown into the sea from their cruise ship off the coast of Tuscany, some losing their lives. Imagine a world of accelerating natural disasters, one after the other so that nobody can help anyone else.
