Have you noticed the crop version looks just like the full length just photoshopped the bottom off? They should at least do a ragged hem

You could just buy half a T-shirt for the same price if you'd rather Confused

They have just used the picture from the full-size top and literally cropped the photo! So you can't see whether it is a proper hemmed crop top which has then been artfully distressed, or whether they've cut the bottom off a T-shirt, which will fray in a different way. Might be very important to anyone who would actually consider buying these.

The sleeveless one is the same T-shirt as well.
It does make you wonder whether someone in the marketing department is having a laugh / has a bet on with colleagues as to whether anyone will buy any of these.

Oops, sorry I had to run and get tissue in the middle of writing my post so hadn't seen yours. I agree that it should have a ragged hem. They could still use one T-shirt for all the photos, but at least actually physically cut it down.

The stupid and obvious photo cropping does make one think it is all a joke. I don't want to spend £55 on finding out but it would potentially be interesting to order the crop top

David Sedaris wrote a wonderful essay about the kind of stores that sell this ‘artfully distressed’ kind of crap: namely Japanese store Kapital.

I'd take the "Small Fucks" sweatshirt any day over the other ones that appear below it, which are all so tacky and cheap looking (while being ridiculously expensive)!

Why don't they just slap their customers on the arse and knock them head first into a puddle, at least that would be a more immersive experience .

I thought the same about the photo shopped cropped tshirt.
I feel so old that I can't believe anyone eould part with £55 (or even £78) for any tshirt something that looks fit for rags (but then I guess maybe our parents said the same when the fashion for ripped jeans came in )
Someone I work along side has a very similar tshirt and I assumed he had it a long time and had run out of nicer ones! 🤣 (He has an extremely limited wardrobe for work) it never once occurred to me he might have bought it in that condition!!Blush

I don't want to click on a link for the same reason, but is the thing in your screenshot that looks like a pair of stirrups actually a bra?!Shock

@Diditopknot

What an absolute pile of shit.

Who on Gods green earth would buy that? Who?

Instagrammers get given it....the rest just want to be the same. Its total Bullshit
theDudesmummy · 06/02/2022 15:13

@Mochudubh it's like the outline of a bra made out of ribbons. It's a pretty bizarre item.
