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
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'm a fashion designer and people think, what do I know?
Vivienne Westwood
Personally I'm not a feminist, as I can't stand puritans.
Vivienne Westwood
People have never looked so ugly as they do today. We just consume far too much.
Vivienne Westwood
I have too much product, and I'm trying to rein it in and sell more of my main collection. I wish you didn't have to design so often it would be good if you could keep on selling the same things for a few years and not have to do new things all the time.
Vivienne Westwood
I think that feminists have definitely underestimated the role that women have had historically. I think I would be insecure if I were to be a man there's so much pressure on you.
Vivienne Westwood
My clothes have always got a very strong dynamic rapport with the body - they are very body conscious, they help you to look glamorous, more hourglass, more woman.
Vivienne Westwood
I can't think without my glasses.
Vivienne Westwood
If you're too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.
Vivienne Westwood
The whole basis of my work is analysing what I do and building some sort of intellectual framework. The only possible effect one can have on the world is through unpopular ideas. They are the only subversion.
Vivienne Westwood
Prince Charles is definitely my hero he uses his position to do only good in this world.
Vivienne Westwood
I've always felt heroic about my life... As a child, I remember little girls in the playground moaning about how boys could do more than they could. I didn't think that was the case at all. My parents didn't treat me as a girl.
Vivienne Westwood
The main message of Climate Revolution is that climate change is caused by the rotten financial system we've got, designed to create poverty and rip off any profits for a small amount of rich people. Meanwhile, it destroys the earth.
Vivienne Westwood
There's nowhere else like London. Nothing at all, anywhere.
Vivienne Westwood
I'll tell you what I was like as a child. I was a good person. I was high-spirited but I was a big reader.
Vivienne Westwood
I have always loved the Mao cap, though I hate violent revolution.
Vivienne Westwood
Being part of a community with a church at its centre and singin' hymns is a great thing to do.
Vivienne Westwood
I was a punk before it got its name. I had that hairstyle and purple lipstick.
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
Fashion is life-enhancing and I think it's a lovely, generous thing to do for other people.
