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!'

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.

Fasion is about eventually becoming naked.

In history people dressed much better than we do today.

What I'm always trying to say to the consumer is: buy less, choose well, make it last.

There is so much that people take for granted.

There's nowhere else like London. Nothing at all, anywhere.
