‘In the 1960s You Could’ — Betsey Johnson Quote Tee | RQuéV Black-on-White Literary Tee — Classic Tee

“In the 1960s you could take LSD but you couldn’t wear a pantsuit.” Betsey Johnson lived the joke: lead designer at the mod boutique Paraphernalia from 1965, she reportedly married the Velvet Underground’s John Cale in a pantsuit and was told the law forbade a woman to wed in trousers. The one-liner exposes how arbitrary, and how recent, the rules about women’s bodies really are. Whenever a society sets out to legislate what a woman may put on, the line is a reminder that those rules were invented, and can be un-invented.
