Buy less, choose well, make it last. Quality rather than quantity: That is true sustainability. If people only bought beautiful things rather than rubbish, we wouldn't have climate change!

More quotes by Vivienne Westwood
My clothes are very popular in Japan.
Vivienne Westwood
I really don't like women who try to be men. All these politicians, I think they're horrendous. We could have a brilliant future, but we have this terrible male vision of destroying everything. They'd better sort themselves out and become more womanly.
Vivienne Westwood
People have never looked so ugly as they do today. We just consume far too much.
Vivienne Westwood
Instead of buying six things, buy one thing that you really like. Don't keep buying just for the sake of it.
Vivienne Westwood
I always tried to do things by example, even though I was not a very good mother regarding routines and family life.
Vivienne Westwood
If we didn't have the Chinese buying things, we'd be on the floor.
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
I have certain signatures, certain cutting principles. It could be a raw-edged seam it could be leaving the lining of sheepskin exposed so it's not perfectly finished. I invent new ways to do it, but the end goal is always the same.
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
If you see everything from the point of view of women being victims in some way, you don't see the wood for the trees. It is better to be a person than a woman.
Vivienne Westwood
The fight is no longer between the classes or between rich and poor but between the idiots and the eco-conscious.
Vivienne Westwood
If you hear Anarchy in the UK today your hair stands on end. It gives you the shivers.
Vivienne Westwood
Fashion is life-enhancing and I think it's a lovely, generous thing to do for other people.
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
There are many war refugees and three times as many climate refugees. All of them are people who can no longer live where they were born. I hope we face reality in time to save ourselves. We will all be migrants soon.
Vivienne Westwood
I think it's important to vote.
Vivienne Westwood
My biggest criticism is how can people be so easily satisfied? Even people with talent.
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.
Vivienne Westwood
The young Japanese, especially, love to wear the latest thing and when they come to London they head for my shops as part of what they want to find in Britain.
Vivienne Westwood
There is so much that people take for granted.
Vivienne Westwood
