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

I have always loved the Mao cap, though I hate violent revolution.

At one time, I was very angry. I even treated fashion like a kind of crusade: you were either with us or against us, that kind of feeling. Now I know we need ideas, not kicking down a door.

Home, more than anything, means warmth and bed.

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.

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!'
