Quote by Vivienne Westwood
But, having a perfume and license, in general, is a financial necessity. A designer must, to reap back the money spent on prototypes and all that sort of thing.
Summary
This quote suggests that having a perfume and a license is crucial for financial stability, particularly for designers. It implies that designers need to sell perfumes to recover the costs of creating prototypes and other related expenses. Thus, developing and marketing a fragrance becomes necessary to generate sufficient revenue and ensure the financial viability of their business.
