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.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
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.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
I just use fashion as an excuse to talk about politics. Because I'm a fashion designer, it gives me a voice, which is really good.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
Journalists are usually quite jealous people, especially of intellectuals who are supposed to be in fashion.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
I don't think punk fashion is a specter or overemphasized - it made a big impression, as there had never been anything like it before.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
Fashion is life-enhancing, and I think it's a lovely, generous thing to do for other people.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
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.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
I talk to fashion designers and say I want some money to save the rainforest, and they say, 'Oh, I agree with you completely Vivienne. Yes, climate change, it's definitely happening,' but they don't feel that they can do anything about it; they don't even think 'Well let's stop it!'
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
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.
Quote by -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. 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.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
Fashion has become so whatever. I don't think there are any stones left to unturn.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
I very rarely watch my own fashion shows, but the makeup for my Fall 2011 show was just brilliant.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
If you're too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
I was a punk before it got its name. I had that hairstyle and purple lipstick.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
Don't just eat McDonald's, get something a bit better. Eat a salad. That's what fashion is. It's something that is a bit better.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
It is not possible for a man to be elegant without a touch of femininity.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
I think feminists are unaware of the tremendous extent of the role of women in history.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
My son has followed fashion since he was a punk. He and I agree that fashion is about sex.
Quote by -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.”
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
“Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.”
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
“It's true the punk fashion itself was iconographic: rips and dirt, safety pins, zips, slogans, and hairstyles. These motifs were so iconic in themselves - motifs of rebellion.”
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
“I am attracted to people who make this effort in knowing what suits them - they are individual and stylish
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
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.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
My clothes have always got a very strong dynamic rapport with the body - they are very body conscious, they help you to look glamorous, more hourglass, more woman.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody's buying far too many clothes.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
I own my own company, so I've never had businessmen telling me what to do or getting worried if something doesn't sell. I've always had my own access to the public, because I started off making my clothes for a little shop and so I've always had people buying them.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
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.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
The young Japanese, especially, love to wear the latest thing and when they come to London they head for my shops as part of what they want to find in Britain.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
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.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
“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.”
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
“If you dress up, it helps your personality to emerge - if you choose well.”
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood

Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
“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.”
Quote by -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!"
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
“Everyone has a masculine and feminine side; masculine qualities and feminine qualities. We've all got these sides to ourselves. And clothes can tell that story. People would think this is very unsympathetic, but I would always say to people, you don't actually need to go through with an operation, can't you just be? You are who you are! But then people say to me, "Oh, you're really dreadful, how would you know?".”
