Artist With Lots of Money Buys Fake Sex Pistols Shirts
I’m tired of hearing how $20 for an artsy T-shirt is expensive. Heck, even our $10 Buzzgrinder T’s ain’t moving! But have some compassion for Damien Hirst. The man tried to buy some late 70s punk rock shirts and got ripped off.
“Some time ago, (Damien Hirst), a life-long fan of the Sex Pistols, paid £80,000 for a large collection of Vivienne Westwood designed T-shirts (pictured) which he believed dated back to the late 1970s when the iconic fashion designer sold her wares from a small boutique at the end of the King’s Road called Sex and then later Seditionaries. Hirst has now discovered that they are fakes.”
That’s over $150k for some ooooold school Sex Pistols shirts. Maybe he’s never heard of Hot Topic.
