More quotes by Vivienne Westwood
My children came out as individuals in their own right. They were not my products. They had their own characters and were very strong-minded. I gave them a lot of freedom when they were still very young. The one thing they got from me is morals. They would never betray anyone. They are really good people.

Vivienne Westwood
I disagree with everything I used to say.

Well, I'm very much a literary person. And my fashion always tells a story somehow. I never look at fashion magazines. I find them incredibly boring. To me, reading a fashion magazine is the last thing I need to do. I've got books I need to read.

My clothes have a story. They have an identity. They have a character and a purpose. That's why they become classics. Because they keep on telling a story. They are still telling it.
Vivienne Westwood
When I'm in the street, the only people I notice are usually at least 70 years old, because they look really stylish.
Vivienne Westwood
When I first saw a picture of the crucifixion, I lost respect for my parents. I suddenly realised that this is what the adult world is like - full of cruelty and hypocrisy.
Vivienne Westwood
I think it is terribly important to have opinions, and to think. We live in a world of action without thought.
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 have considered voting Conservative because I am so against the Labour party.
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
We have got to change our ethics and our financial system and our whole way of understanding the world. It has to be a world in which people live rather than die a sustainable world. It could be great.
Vivienne Westwood
People have never looked so ugly as they do today. We just consume far too much.
Vivienne Westwood
I didn't want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn't like it. I always wanted to do other things.
Vivienne Westwood
I always tried to do things by example, even though I was not a very good mother regarding routines and family life.
