Ironically: the gaudy heavily branded clothing of a brand's clothing line is usually the cheapest.

The understated stuff is usually much more expensive.

I think Vercace is the only brand I know of that's the opposite.

The prominent-luxury-logo-branded stuff is marketed to Fussell's Middle—his class defined by being the most class-anxious and also the most class-confused, so always aiming to elevate themselves, then fucking it up. Like, by falling for this kind of marketing, so failing to signal the way they intended, and instead placing themselves firmly and obviously outside the group they're trying to imitate.
