More quotes by Vivienne Westwood
Journalists are usually quite jealous people, especially of intellectuals who are supposed to be in fashion.
Vivienne Westwood
I like to literally put women on a pedestal
Vivienne Westwood
Why do people think that if you don't dress up, others will appreciate your beauty more - that style will somehow emanate from you? It's rubbish. If you dress up it helps your personality to emerge - if you choose well
Vivienne Westwood
I very rarely watch my own fashion shows, but the makeup for my Fall 2011 show was just brilliant.
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 think it's important to vote.
Vivienne Westwood
I used to always fight for human rights. I still fight for Leonard Peltier, who's spent 35 years in jail for a crime he didn't commit.
Vivienne Westwood
Fashion has become so whatever. I don't think there are any stones left to unturn.
Vivienne Westwood
A status symbol is a book. A very easy book to read is The Catcher in the Rye. Walk around with that under your arm, kids. That is status.
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
My fashion advice is to have a flattering mirror and then forget about it.
Vivienne Westwood
My son has followed fashion since he was a punk. He and I agree that fashion is about sex.
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
I think some people would love to be able to make the clothes I make - and of course, I do influence them, but they keep simplifying, and minimalism doesn't quite work
Vivienne Westwood
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!
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
To me, reading a fashion magazine is the last thing I need to do. I've got books I need to read.
Vivienne Westwood
We moved into the back, made it into a little 50s sitting room and started to sell the records. We had an immediate success. For one thing, these Teddy Boys were thrilled to buy the records.
Vivienne Westwood
The orb came about because I wanted to do this kitsch sweater for Prince Charles when he went hunting and fishing with his kilt on.
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.
