Ah, Vivienne Westwood. I may not always agree with you (Pam Anderson, really?), but I defend your right to the death to be fabulously eccentric. The Guardian has compiled a list of some of her most notable quotables throughout her career. Some of my favorites:
After losing an Armani contract
In Italy they take cheap cloth and make it look expensive, but I take expensive cloth and make it look cheap. They just don't understand (1986)
On her shop 'SEX' in Chelsea
We wanted to create a feeling of being inside a womb, but in a sort of sex torture chamber (1994)
Arriving at her studio with ripped stockings
I was taken on the bed by Andreas this morning. Don't you love this look? (1994)
On fashion
Fashion is about eventually becoming naked (1991)
