Vivienne Westwood: Quote, Unquote.

Vivienne Westwood on pop culture:

'Popular culture is a contradiction in terms.  If it's popular, it's not culture.  If everyone loves it, it's not original.'

Isabella Blow on what Alexander McQueen should have done at Givenchy:

"I had an idea that he should have a muse, and she'd live there, and she'd be at home - in her salon - as they did in the 18th century.  You'd have tea with her, she'd talk, she'd run around in the clothes.  You know, a sort of Warhol Factory thing?  But life is very corporate now, you can't do all that.  But that's what I would have done.  I just would have had a wild time."
