Tracksuits barely even count as a set of clothes, my man is basically Diogenes.
Fuck, cancelling myself until I can stock up on $5 cargo shorts
"When I was poor and complained about inequality they said I was bitter; now that I'm rich and I complain about inequality they say I'm a hypocrite. I'm beginning to think they just don't want to talk about inequality."
That's a Russell Brand quote, right? Is he based? I just remember thinking his style of stand-up was bad.
Yes. No idea where his personal politics are, but that observation is spot on.
p sure those outfits are rented or the magazine brings them in or something
Those clothes are usually loaned for the time of the photoshoot.
It probably costs 200 bucks and they "estimated" 14k because you can estimate anything
the last time they dragged out this bullshit I remember AOC tweeting about how clothes are often either supplied or rented for the shoot
Isn't it pretty well established that AOC basically lives off her paycheck? She's not a hidden millionaire or anything now is she?
Also it's great that Vanity Far was probably like "hey just put this suit on, it'll work with the color palette and lighting for this cover shoot where we make you look like a 15 year old girl that wants to fuck pedophile Kevin Spacey" then leaked that the suit cost $14,000 to someone because they knew it would be a story.
gotta sell magazines
if it really takes off the chuds will be buying piles of them to burn
Exactly. They invented a controversy around their cover. That's all this is.
If rightwingers love capitalism so much, why do they wear clothes that are the fruits of labor? :curious-sickle:
On a tangent: why the fuck does that suit cost 14k? That's craaaaazy expensive
It wasn't that one suit, it was all the ones she wore in the shoot which was like 4.
Ahhh, I see. A 3.5k suit sounds as expensive as clothes can go in my mind before you start just encrusting everything in diamonds.
All the same, how much does silk cost? What if it were made of the most expensive dyes and threads? That sounds intensely expensive unless some grand master spent 2 months working on it by hand.
Shit labor practices and a history of aggressive union busting.
Only the libbest of libs can look at a random suit and identify it and how much it cost.
Having a pair of clothes is quality of life only reserved for capitalists. Paying $14,000 for them is only reasonable if you hate the poor.
And then Lenin decreed from Finland Station, "Under a dictatorship of the proletariat, every worker will accesses to Raf Simons A/W 2001 Riot! Riot! Riot! Bombers!"
