The only real hero on kids' T-shirts seemed to be Che Guevara, so I put Rembrandt - wearing his beret - as a hero of culture. "Active Resistance is founded on the idea that the art lover is a freedom fighter for a better world because he/she thinks, and his/her exploration of the past gives him/her a perspective from which to form their own opinions and to act." Quote by Vivienne Westwood about her October 4, 2005, runway collection. 🖤Final Sale🖤
