Hi all,
I do not know whether I should put this thread under the Men' Clothing or Streetwear.
I am just curious regarding Vivienne Westwood because she seems to be a legend in Japan and highly regarded in Europe but her pieces were not well sold in the US (the pricing for her pieces seem to be exorbitant).
My understanding so far is that she has four labels under her name (Red Label, Anglomania, Man and Gold Label) with Gold Label is the only label that she is working on and directly involved (the Red and Anglomania are handled by her design teams while her husband is doing the MAN line).
Her Gold Label that is supposed to be her highest line (Haute Couture) therefore the questions I have here are regarding whether her pieces are actually justified the price tag.
Frankly speaking, I actually like some of her pieces that are on the normal border but wearable.
Last time there was a Gold Label 3 pieces suit (that came from her "Anglomania" collection year 1993, not Anglomania label) on ebay for $900 (with the actual price was around 835GBP in 1993).
- Does $900 worth the vintage Gold Label suit?
- Did her older seasons have superior quality compare to the latest season?
- Do Gold Label pieces actually have a superior quality of craftsmanship?
and
- What year did she actually launch the Gold Label?
Thanks in advance.
