It seems there is a recent resurgence in pilfering through the Westwood/MacLaren archives – let’s call it the Pharrell effect. So here goes some guy ripping off Vivienne Westwood again (sidenote: this is often the norm in fashion – steal from Westwood).
Back in the late ’70s McLaren and Westwood were at the forefront of the PUNK Movement and the centerpiece of their work was a store called SEX where they sold this exact T-shirt depicting Minnie and Mickey getting down. Cut to 2014, where some punk has now gone and reproduced it. Buy it if you like but just know that you are stealing from a Dame. Here’s a better idea: Let’s get Vivienne to create an archive collection – Maison Martin Margiela has been mining theirs for years.
