The British fashion designer has been creating clothes and accessories for nearly 40 years. She insists she will never retire from the industry, but would like to start doing something more charitable with her time.

"I am not retiring but I wouldn`t mind having a change of job," the 68-year-old designer told the audience at the Institute of Contemporary Arts fundraising gala at London`s Koko club on Wednesday night. "I want to do something for the human race."

Vivienne went on to announce a new TV show, which will see her investigating how people can be more environmentally-friendly in their everyday lives. She is passionate about the project, and believes it has the potential to change the world.

"At the moment, I am working on a new TV programme called Get A Life," she explained. "The name works on two levels. First, it is about making sure we have a world habitable for future generations and second, it`s asking what are you doing about your life now? Put something into life, don?t just sit there like an idiot."
