HOLEY SOCKS
Stealth wealth at its most sly. Like those aristocrats with faded, tattered curtains framing the human-size windows on the piano nobile of their Palladian mansions. The King was photographed with holes in his socks on a recent visit to a mosque, where he respectfully removed his shoes. If the King’s got ‘em, holey socks can hardly equate to poverty. In the age of shabby-chic and the distressed interior aesthetic – holey and weathered, is peak stealth wealth.
