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
Wear a towel instead of a coat, it’s very chic. Or your husband’s boxer shorts with a belt, or something from your grandmother. It’s all about do-it-yourself at the moment.
Vivienne Westwood
I didn't consider myself a fashion designer at all at the time of punk. I was just using fashion as a way to express my resistance and to be rebellious.
