Turn That Smile Upside Down

Moschino Cheap and Chic Face Print Tee-Shirt, $300 at net-a-porter.com

No, your eyes do not deceive you. This grotesque spray-paint tee shirt is an astounding $300--and while I usually smile at Moschino's luscious creations, I can only frown at this ridiculous garment, overpriced and underdesigned. I have never been a fan of the tee shirt--it only seems appropriate for car washes, working out, and other sweaty tasks, but this one in particular strikes me as particularly unattractive. The blurry image, the goofy smile, the gray cotton, the loose fit: all of it offends me to no end. This makes American Apparel look like Prada in comparison. At least their garments are reasonably priced and fitted.
