More quotes by Vivienne Westwood
There is so much that people take for granted.
Vivienne Westwood
I eat only vegetables and fruit, and to me it's the most aspirational diet because it's so easy. It's quite simple, the cooking I do.
Vivienne Westwood
I can't think without my glasses.
Vivienne Westwood
In the 18th century, if women wanted to travel and they dressed as a man, people would not look twice. Your clothes said everything. Also there were masters and servants swapping clothes. You could be anything, your clothes told everything!
Vivienne Westwood
Feminists wish women to seem like men. They're not men.
Vivienne Westwood
I love designing at the moment, I'm so happy with my work.
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
I'm not sure what I think about current fashion, though. A few years ago, I would have said it's really, really bad and you hardly ever see anybody looking good. There must be some very good designers in the world.
Vivienne Westwood
We are the most amazing creatures that this world has ever produced, but we seem to also have this herd mentality we seem to be the most stupid, also.
Vivienne Westwood
When I was a little girl you used to learn to sew all the holes in things, darning socks, but nobody mends things anymore.
Vivienne Westwood
Even though it was the 70s, we found old stocks of clothes that had never been worn from the 50s and took them apart. I started to teach myself how to make clothes from that kind of formula.
Vivienne Westwood
It is not possible for a man to be elegant without a touch of femininity.
Vivienne Westwood
I didn't do anything at the Queen, whom I admire.
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
How impossible it is for us to imagine ourselves victims of disaster. We suffer for the poor people who were thrown into the sea from their cruise ship off the coast of Tuscany, some losing their lives. Imagine a world of accelerating natural disasters, one after the other so that nobody can help anyone else.
Vivienne Westwood
What I remember as a child is that other kids didn't care about suffering. I always did.
Vivienne Westwood
You have a more interesting life if you wear impressive clothes.
Vivienne Westwood
The sexiest people are thinkers. Nobody's interested in somebody who's just vain with a hole in their head, talking about the latest thing - there is no latest thing. It's all rubbish.
Vivienne Westwood
My biggest criticism is how can people be so easily satisfied? Even people with talent.
Vivienne Westwood
Intelligence is composed mostly of imagination, insight, things that have nothing to do with reason.
