From the House of Balenciaga



You can buy it for mere £935.00.  One guy on twitter did his own interpretation, which has itself generated a lot of comment.

Can you also wear that as a long sleeved shirt with a t-shirt stuck on the back?  Or if it's a tad cold you could undo the buttons, turn the sleeves inside out and wear a back-to-front shirt over a t-shirt...

Edit:  I see you can wear it either way  0_0

Well the original bonkers shirt was featured on Have I Got News for You last night with suitably naughty suggestions from Frank Skinner so they are getting a lot of free publicity. I think I'll go and sellotape some of my clothes together so I can pretend I've only got half the number of clothes I really have.... so I'll have to go and make some more.  :devil:

I went off at a tangent, showed this to the missus, then showed her those STUPID jeans cut away to nothing...then found the name of the company marketing them...and found this ridiculous item  Not even a skirt, so what's the point?


Apparently it's a 'waist piece' [the company is Carmar denim if you want to see the rest of their overpriced trash]



I've ordered two of course...

It's the King's New Clothes syndrome again. Does nobody read Hans Christian Anderson to their children any more?
