Vivienne Westwood
I just use fashion as an excuse to talk about politics. Because I'm a fashion designer, it gives me a voice, which is really good.
Vivienne Westwood
I own my own company, so I've never had businessmen telling me what to do or getting worried if something doesn't sell. I've always had my own access to the public, because I started off making my clothes for a little shop and so I've always had people buying them.
Vivienne Westwood
If you wear clothes that don't suit you, you're a fashion victim. You have to wear clothes that make you look better.
Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne Westwood
