Our economic system, run for profit and waste and based primarily on the extractive industries, is the cause of climate change. We have wasted the earth's treasure and we can no longer exploit it cheaply.

I very rarely watch my own fashion shows, but the makeup for my Fall 2011 show was just brilliant.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
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
Image
I've got a terrible memory it's probably because I'm always concentrating on what I'm doing now.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
If you hear Anarchy in the UK today your hair stands on end. It gives you the shivers.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
Sometimes you need to transport your idea to an empty landscape and then populate it with fantastic looking people.

I think feminists are unaware of the tremendous extent of the role of women in history.

Image
I am always trying to find fabrics that are more friendly to the environment - working with Virgin Atlantic, they managed to research into this and find more eco fabrics.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
I was born during the war and grew up in a time of rationing. We didn't have anything. It's influenced the way I look at the world.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
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
