More quotes by 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
Art should never be sociological it has got to be timeless. It's got to be your vision and how you can represent the world you see.
Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne Westwood
It is extremely difficult to say how long the process actually took to finally achieve my fragrance, Boudoir, because there was a lot of time waiting around for other people.
Vivienne Westwood
Nothing is costed properly and it's destroying the earth. We need to re-educate people that what is good for the planet is good for the financial system.
Vivienne Westwood
There's nowhere else like London. Nothing at all, anywhere.
Vivienne Westwood
I may be a rebel, but I am not an outsider.
Vivienne Westwood
I am attracted to people who make this effort in knowing what suits them - they are individual and stylish.
Vivienne Westwood
My fashion advice is to have a flattering mirror and then forget about it.
Vivienne Westwood
But, having a perfume and license, in general, is a financial necessity. A designer must, to reap back the money spent on prototypes and all that sort of thing.
Vivienne Westwood
The young need discipline and a full bookcase.
Vivienne Westwood
I wish you didn't have to design so often. Try to do quality and cut down on quantity. I think fashion is very, very important.
