If you ask me what I think people should be getting next season, I’ll tell you what I’d like them to buy—nothing. I’d like people to stop buying and buying and buying.
Vivienne Westwood
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.

Vivienne Westwood
In the morning, I practice 15 minutes of yoga.
Vivienne Westwood
I do have reasons for what I do. I am a very political person, and I really think if you put these clothes on, you will look like a force to be reckoned with.
Vivienne Westwood
Everybody should have a fair deal everybody should have the chance to life in this world. If we were evolved as human beings, we would hopefully be able to alleviate suffering in the world.
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
I’m not terribly interested in beauty. What touches me is someone who understands herself.
Vivienne Westwood
I like to literally put women on a pedestal
Vivienne Westwood
