I mean that's it in its entirety right? Otherwise by similar reduction, a Picasso is just some acrylic on canvas.
- DaiPlusPlus 6y agoBut I’d wager 90% of people know who Picasso was and can recognise his work. But what percentage of the general public can spot a Nieman Marcus buy from a thrift-store find?
- dajohnson89 6y agoi bet more people in the world recognize the Gucci logo than can recognize a Picasso.
- lostmsu 6y agoUnlikely. There are entire countries who could not care less about Gucci. Hell, I might not be able to recognize it's logo.
- icedistilled 6y agotrue, a picasso is just acrylic on canvass but it's not acrylic on canvass mass produced in a factory. If Miuccia Prada herself sewed together a tshirt and painstakingly put on the rhinestones with much thought, then no one would be questioning the price.
- chillacy 6y agoMaybe expensive whisky or wine is a better comparison. They're both mass produced and their value derives more from scarcity than better worksmanship.
