Dame Vivienne Westwood thinks people should "step off the treadmill of fashion".

The iconic designer wishes more young women understood that taking risks is the key to looking good.

The 68-year-old style icon said: "Stand out! It's heroic to stand out. My clothes have always been heroic. So much of fashion is ordinary, but I notice young women in the street and I think they look very good because they know it's not about fashion, it's how you put it together.

"First you have to know who you are, or want to be. Then you have to use your clothes to tell your personal story, and be confident.

"I've never worried about what other people are wearing or what they think of me. I'm only interested in how I want to feel and look. You have to cut a figure. Step off the treadmill of fashion!"

When it comes to her own clothes, Vivienne regularly wears the same outfit for days at a time.

She told Britain's Elle magazine: "I often wear the same thing for more than a day. On the second day, you don't have to think about what to wear."
