Balenciaga heard you like shirts, so they put a shirt on a t-shirt for $1,300

Balenciaga, purveyor of expensive IKEA bag knock-offs and car mats masquerading as skirts, has yet again created something the internet can’t stop talking about.

The Spanish fashion house has released something called a “T-Shirt Shirt” as part of its Fall 2018 collection, and as the name gives away, it’s a t-shirt with a shirt on it.

Interested? It’ll set you back a casual $1,290.(Opens in a new tab)

As per Balenciaga’s online store, the shirt has “two wearing options.”

You can wear the short sleeved shirt so the other shirt drapes in front of you, or don the long sleeved shirt so the t-shirt hangs off the back of you, kind of like a cape.

They’re like those convertible pants that turn into shorts, except the “t-shirt shirt” happens to be more bizarre.

While the item of clothing is less likely to raise questions about copyright, you might have a query about whether it actually um, looks good.

Balenciaga creative director Demna Gvasalia won’t really care what you think though, especially if you absolutely hate the “T-Shirt Shirt.” In 2017, he told Vogue(Opens in a new tab) that he actually liked when people thought his designs ugly.

“I think it’s very interesting, the definition of ugly,” he said. “I think it’s also very interesting to find this line where ugly becomes beautiful or where beautiful becomes ugly. That’s a challenge I like. I think that’s a part of what fashion stands for and I like that people think my clothes are ugly; I think it’s a compliment.”

If you’re still keen on the idea, you could just create your own Balenciaga knock-off, just like Twitter user @AH_Mike(Opens in a new tab) did.
