‘They Just Don’t Understand’ — Vivienne Westwood Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Literary Tee — Classic Tee

“In Italy they take cheap cloth and make it look expensive, but I take expensive cloth and make it look cheap. They just don’t understand.” The line stays unverified, though Vivienne Westwood did move her production to Italy in the mid-1980s, right when the joke would have written itself. It is punk economics in a sentence: luxury is a trick of making cloth testify to a price, and she loved running the trick backwards. Once you can see how worth gets signaled, you are free to stop believing the expensive thing is automatically the better one.
