Vivienne Westwood Quotes

I don’t watch television and I rarely go to the cinema, but I recently watched ‘The King’s Speech’ on a flight. It was so beautiful and so simple Picture Quote #1

I’ve got a real sense of three-dimensional geometry. I can look at a flat piece of fabric and know that if I put a slit in it and make some fabric travel around a square, then when you lift it up it will drape in a certain way, and I can feel how that will happen Picture Quote #1

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. I came from the country, and by the time I got to London, I considered myself to be very stupid. It was my ambition to understand the world I live in Picture Quote #1

I was so upset with what was going on in the world. I just couldn’t stand the idea of being people tortured and that we even had such a thing as war. I hated the older generation, who had not done anything about it. Punk was a call-to-arms for me Picture Quote #1

I’m different from any other designer, businesswise, in that I’ve built this company up and I own it. I never had business hype behind me to promote my image... My image is real... I have never had marketing people telling me what to do Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The best night of my life was watching the Japanese Noh theater. I’ve only seen it once, but even saying it now, I think, ‘How can I ever have this experience again?’ It was so mesmerizing, so complicated and so primordial; I could not believe it Picture Quote #1

The main message of Climate Revolution is that climate change is caused by the rotten financial system we’ve got, designed to create poverty and rip off any profits for a small amount of rich people. Meanwhile, it destroys the earth Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I didn’t know how a working-class girl like me could possibly make a living in the art world Picture Quote #1

You’ve got to invest in the world, you’ve got to read, you’ve got to go to art galleries, you’ve got to find out the names of plants. You’ve got to start to love the world and know about the whole genius of the human race. We’re amazing people Picture Quote #1

The bravery shown by Azza Suleiman who dared to stand up for another woman who was being beaten, and paid a heavy price in doing so, is both awe-inspiring and humbling Picture Quote #1

Art should never be sociological; it has got to be timeless. It’s got to be your vision and how you can represent the world you see Picture Quote #1

I think that feminists have definitely underestimated the role that women have had historically. I think I would be insecure if I were to be a man; there’s so much pressure on you Picture Quote #1

I don’t care how many beauty treatments you have, I don’t care which bag you’re carrying - you have to have a dress Picture Quote #1

I’m not terribly interested in beauty. What touches me is someone who understands herself Picture Quote #1

If you see everything from the point of view of women being victims in some way, you don’t see the wood for the trees. It is better to be a person than a woman Picture Quote #1

I think dress, hairstyle and make-up are the crucial factors in projecting an attractive persona and give one the chance to enhance one’s best physical features Picture Quote #1

I really don’t like women who try to be men. All these politicians, I think they’re horrendous. We could have a brilliant future, but we have this terrible male vision of destroying everything. They’d better sort themselves out and become more womanly Picture Quote #1

But, the thing is, since I always had my own little shop and direct access to the public, I’ve been able to build up a technique without marketing people ever telling me what the public wants Picture Quote #1

Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody’s buying far too many clothes Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

I don’t feel comfortable defending my clothes. But if you’ve got the money to afford them, then buy something from me. Just don’t buy too much Picture Quote #1

What I remember as a child is that other kids didn’t care about suffering. I always did Picture Quote #1

Fashion is here to help make people look very important. If they have good taste and choose what suits them, I give them options on how they can do that. It’s always sexy, and it’s always with the same result: making women look fantastic Picture Quote #1

If you wear clothes that don’t suit you, you’re a fashion victim. You have to wear clothes that make you look better Picture Quote #1

Economists treat economics as if it is a pure science divorced from the facts of life. The result of this false accountancy is a willful confusion under cover of which industry wreaks its havoc scot-free and ignores the environmental cost Picture Quote #1

I wish you didn’t have to design so often. Try to do quality and cut down on quantity. I think fashion is very, very important Picture Quote #1
