    So I have two thoughts about this:

    1. A lot of times, if you find something that’s insanely ugly for a crazy price it’s a scam. Since the shirt photo says “as seen on tv” in the bottom left I’d bet it’s money laundering. Someone wanted to give their friend money and did it by funneling money from the studio budget into a ridiculously expensive wardrobe.
    2. If this shirt was originally designed as “high fashion”, then I’m not surprised it’s ugly. There’s this whole subsection of the fashion industry that follows the “we focused so much on whether or not we could, we didn’t consider if we should” philosophy. High fashion focuses more on technique and combining interesting shapes - a lot of times it’s not even wearable.
