‘A Woman’s Dress Should Be’ — Sophia Loren Quote Tee | RQuéV Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Muscle Tank

“A woman’s dress should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view.” Sophia Loren delivered this in her 1979 authorized biography, with the comic timing of a woman who had spent two decades as cinema’s idea of desire and knew exactly how the machinery ran. The joke has aged better than the whistles around it, because she is claiming authorship of the effect rather than being subjected to it. The real question underneath is an old one: who a woman actually dresses for, and who gets to decide.
