Some people are fasion zombie-slaves, sad or fun :]

[GRiM]

I laughed out loud from some kind of shock when I saw this "shirt". This is wrong on so many levels. Wonder if they have even one customer, hope not :)

(a torn tshirt with holes and what looks like a very bad fit for 1000+$)

omg Grim that's crazy. Zombie-Sheek for just under 2k....

That Balmain person's laughing all the way to the bank...

 

[Mrs.Tigersoap]

Yes, Christophe Decarnin (designer for Balmain) has quite the sense of humour. You can also find the matching pair of cargo pants for 1300 euros. It would be very funny if people were not actually buying these things. They are all over the fashion magazines. And highstreet shops are copying the look as well (Zara, etc.). I know because I used to have an interest in fashion and I still have a look... sometimes...

What's just as sad is that the expensive stuff eventually filters down (as you said) to the less expensive stores. My term for this stuff has now become psychopathic fashion.

I'm all for creativity (in the 80's, kids were cutting up their shirts), but there's nothing inspiring about this.

You can get those for free by the salvation army. I mean people are actually buying this? Why? That's just madness.

I hate to throw away things and so some of my T-shirts actually look like that although I only wear them at home. I didn't know that I was a setting a trend! :P

Absolutely. Nowadays, when I want to buy something to wear, I'm really lost: trends are all about boyfriend jeans, army/utilitary, punk/studs, huge potato sacks that are considered dresses, layering (which is just way to have you buy three pieces instead of one), etc. And that's the only things you'll find in shops. When you actually want to dress like a woman, there is nowhere to go. It's actually considered retrograde

I have several pairs of socks of similar design for sale if anyones interested.

Second hand I'm afraid, but still a bargain in my suddenly updated opinion. :P

I agree with this, it's impossible to find normal clothing nowadays. I keep saying that the last time it was possible to get something normal without crazy logos or torn into pieces was in the early 00s.

Actually I have the same problem:

Walking on the streets of New York, Soho a couple of years ago I saw a boutique or clothing store and -I swore!- each and every fancy-bancy design looked like a homeless person's outfit!
I call call them homeless-fashion!
Crazy.
I agree with you, Mrs. Tigersoap!
Lately I barely spent any money on clothing because blouses and dresses all looks like made for pregnant women, even skinny, tiny-winy girls look like 8 month pregnant!

LOL ...I'm with you Vulcan. My first thought was "Oh look, my garden cloths are in fashion" :P

Its nice to see evidence of how ridiculous the "world of fashion" is, and how mindlessly the sheeple buy it! Fashion is interesting to me as a social and cultural phenomenon... although personally I find it frivolous and prefer to shop in thrift stores...the greener way to go if you think about it. But its funny how far they take it! I can't wait to show this Holiest of Holies T to my husband.... He's been wearing the "holier than thou" look for years!

Here's the item's description:

Editor's notes

Go for stylishly dishevelled cool in Balmain's olive green distressed detail cotton t-shirt. Work the runway look by teaming this statement staple with cargo pants and ankle boots for a luxe spin on utility chic.

stylishly dishevelled cool...luxe spin on utility chic...

The fashion industry seems to have created its own novlangue.

It's a sad day when the "Derelicte" fashion (basically a fashion based off of how homeless people look) from the movie 'Zoolander' actually is a style.
