You Can Charge Anything For A White Tee

     Hey everyone.. hows the week been? Mine has been a blast so far :D. Anyways, as regards today's post, I came across this $120 plain white T-Shirt while i was looking for inspiration on the internet..lol. Sounds crazy yeah? How many people will actually spend $120 (₦19200) on a plain white tee all in the name of fashion? Well, there are many people like that since it was said to have sold out within a couple of hours
   If you're wondering what make the t-shirt is, well its the "Hip Hop T-Shirt" from the Kanye West x A.P.C. capsule collection 2013 which was launched sometime last month. Apparently, it was reported that the pieces began selling out — and the French retailer’s site crashed in the wake of the frenzy — as fast as you can say “Yeezus!”
   The plain white “Hip Hop T-Shirt,” a loose Egyptian cotton short sleeve shirt with the words “A.P.C. KANYE” silk-screened inside was the first to go out of stock. Nothing says luxury more than a $120 plain white T-shirt, according to Kanye West’s design logic. And it seems that fashion fans agree (i guess). The "A.P.C. Kanye" line includes two styles of jeans, two shirts, and three sweatshirts, with retail prices between $120-$280. Here's the photo of the T-Shirt and the whole collection.

   There you have it...let me know your thoughts on the $120 plain white tee... If you can actually pay that much for a plain  t-shirt when you can buy knock off  t-shirts under ₦1000.
