New York, Mar 30 (ANI): In normal circumstances one would throw away a torn piece of garment, but a designer cotton T-shirt covered with dozens of holes and tears is boasting a price tag of 1,625 dollars.
French designer Christophe Decarnin has created the expensive olive-green number from haute couture brand Balmain.
The “slashed Army T-shirt” has several small and large holes on the front and back, and is made from 100 percent cotton.
It comes in only one colour and can be bought online, and the gaping holes on the front resemble two eyes, a nose and a mouth.
Luxury fashion retailer net-a-porter.com has described the T-shirt as “stylishly dishevelled cool.”
However, economy-conscious people are thinking otherwise.
“I can’t spend that much money on one item. The maximum I spend on a T-shirt is 7 dollars,” the New York Daily News quoted home health aide Isolda Marcial-Blanco, 56, who lives in Chelsea. (ANI)
