It’s not all that long ago that I posted about a Google t-shirt but here we are again. This t-shirt is a special designer t-shirt that I wouldn’t be caught wearing. It’s just too much. And I’m not talking about the money either but that is also too much.
Here is a little more information about the tee:
This 100% cotton, hand silk-screened tee shirt takes its inspiration from the Google map point and search results graphics. Gary has reinterpreted the map point — a point of destination — as a global symbol for where we are and where we’re going by enlarging the map point, making it look “worn” away, and placing it over a backdrop of search results for the word ‘Peace.’ The distressed, vintage-looking tee shirts were hand silk-screened by Devil’s Rainbow in Providence, Rhode Island. Men’s’ tee comes in sizes Small, Medium and Large. Purchase of these items supports the designers and the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund.
$85 for that?
You think that they should charge more?
This shirt is great! especially for his type of clothing. I can totally see why for the main stream public an $85 t-shirt is not justified. I think its more of a cult following item. Especially those who read vogue and follow the fashion fund design awards. Since this was a required challenge for all the fashion fund finalist, the google shirt is so much cooler then the $300 google scarfs and $3000 google suits with a computer back pack attached to it. In this world of high fashion and $400 comme de garcon t shirts, im pretty satisified with mine. My husband also looks great at work with his and his rustic cardigan over it. He’s a EE VLSI chip engineer and all the hipster programmers get a kick out of this shirt.
