T-Shirts Gone Mad!

I do love fashion with so many different trends and colours from so many designers, there is always something to fit everyone's taste and budget.

I sometimes think that  we spend too much money and go overboard on buying fashion items we don't really need. Even if I was a millionaire, I still wouldn't spend money for certain things, like cat-ear headbands for £660.00 (Maison Michel).

Hermes Crocodile T-shirt $91,500.00

I was reading an article recently that reminded me just how frivolous the fashion industry can be.  Hermes is selling a crocodile skin men's T-shirt for $91,500.00 or £59,784! Yes 91 thousand dollars! it's not a typing error but the cost of a t-shirt.

No one would think we are in a double dip recession, clearly the fashion industry clearly thinks there are still people out there who can afford and want to pay such a huge some of money for t-shirt. Fashion industry insiders think that Hermes are aiming their crocodile t-shirt at the middle eastern market

Maison Martin Margiela t-shirt

Who pays nearly £60,000.00 on a t-shirt? in certain parts of the country I can buy a house for that. I thought when I saw the black leather t-shirts being sold by Gucci and Maison Martin Margiela for around £1000.00 that was pushing the boat out a bit but £91,000 grand! I personally would want it to be made from Platinum for that price...

Lanvin White t-shirt

It would seem the humble t-shirt has indeed been turned into haute couture in 2013 with many fashion houses embracing the trend. Lanvin has embellished white t-shirts on sale from £450.00 - £1485.00. Although I can imagine people saving for rising star Simone Rocha luxurious sheer daisy print t-shirts for £695.00. 

But are shoppers really willing to spend this kind of money on a wardrobe staple?

Michael Van Der Ham £1705

After asking friends and acquaintances no one I know would spend that much on a t-shirt. I hope this is a time when common sense prevails over crazy fashion prices in 2013.


Would you buy a crocodile t-shirt for £59,784?
