i thought to propose -- [unintelligible] why don't you take one designer like vivian westwood or others to make one season, one coutoure collection? >> you should call some up immediately and suggest the deal. >> [laughs] that is true. each one to make their own collection should not be back. a very attractive idea. >> as you do not want to talk about art, we will not say your work is art. let's be very vulgar and talk about money. [laughter] it is extraordinary what you have produced in coutoure. does that make any money? quick to be honest, what we produce in coutoure does not make money but it does include money. i must say, i am very proud of that. when i started to do coutoure, after a lot of stories that may be issued do another job, i said, ok, i will do my own collection. i started and never stopped after. on boat one, one woman, done all in lace in the exhibition. it starts like, ok, i did not think to make another one. so i did one after and one after and one after peter i am still doing it now. this is 1997. more than 10 years. >> i ask the question because it is very interes

asked vivian westwood where she sees pockets of growth. >> at the moment, it's in china. if you didn't have the chinese buying things, then the fashion business would be completely on the floor. it won't migrate to africa, you know. it's just not going to happen. by then, we'll be frying by then in this climate change. we've got to do things in between. if we do things in between, i don't know where we'll be in the future. but i have far too much product. the nation of the fashion business is that in order to support the nucleus of what you do, there are so many spinoffs that you have to have because it has to be subsidized by these spinoffs. what i do would lose money if it didn't up the spinoffs. i don't know. it's just a whole way that the world is work. what i think is very important is that people should stop buying all this rubbish. >> you think it's no longer about rich and poor? >> well of course it's about rich and poor. if people can't afford the clothe, then they can't afford them. but they have to nevertheless try to choose in some way, whether it's from the c
