Triumph or disaster?
Sometimes, I will flick through the money sinking machine that is known as Net-a-Porter, idly wondering who has two thousand pounds to spend on a scrap of cloth, and other times I will gasp astounded at the skill of great designers, and their sheer brilliance with shape, cut and other important stylistic things. Occasionally however, I am stopped dead in my tracks, which instantly calls for a cup of coffee to start me up again. This t-shirt, named “Bird” by Juicy Couture is one of those startled, rabbit in the headlights moments. I am truly flummoxed. Is this a genius piece of fine tailoring, featuring asymmetrical sleeves and hemline and an atmospheric abstract print. Or is it just my dad’s old t-shirt that my mum splattered paint on when she was decorating? I’m sure it’s all very postmodern, this dual aspect t-shirt slash decorating disaster, but I’m not sure if 115 pounds isn’t rather a lot to pay for such polar ambiguity. But maybe therein lies my problem. If I have to ask, I will never understand. Shucks!
