I'll make my business smaller, says eco-warrior Vivienne Westwood as Georgia May Jagger, Jerry Hall and George Clooney front new climate change campaign


The Daily Mail reports:
She has vowed to shrink her fashion empire despite enjoying a recent surge in profits.

Dame Vivienne Westwood, 72, has said she will integrate her environmental beliefs with her
business ethics by reducing her contribution to mass production - something which she says is directly linked with climate change.

'Do I feel guilty about all the consumption that the fashion world promotes? Well, I can answer that by saying that I am now trying to make my own business more efficient and self-sustaining,' she says.


There's more:
A T-shirt emblazoned with a heart-shaped printed design promoting the charity's efforts is modelled by an array of supermodels, musicians and Hollywood stars in the new photo-campaign.

George Clooney, Jerry Hall and daughter Georgia May Jagger, singers Paloma Faith and Chris Martin and Westwood herself feature in the new set of images by award-winning celebrity photographer Andy Gotts MBE.

He says: 'People want to support Vivienne Westwood. She’s so passionate. They see Vivienne as someone really special and people feel the urge to fight in her corner.'
