Follies of the Madmen #436
Those are plainly loony bin attendants in the background, denoting that this clothing line is worn by crazy people. Gratuitous tape recorder also puzzling.

Follies of the Madmen #435
Is it just me, or is the notion of an army of clones on the make for a lone gal a creepy thing?

Four-Layer T-Shirt
New from designer Y/Project. It’s essentially four t-shirts sewed on top of each other. So when the first t-shirt is dirty, you just advance to the next one, and then the next, etc.Although, for the price tag of $191, it would be a lot cheaper to sew together four of your own t-shirts.

Raf Simons Grey Leather Tank Top
Usually it retails for $2850, but it's on sale now at ssense.com for only $1311. A bargain!

Boil Tested Buttons
Are modern buttons boil tested in the year 2019? It seems overkill to me, even back then. If you had the plastics formulation down pat, and tested it once, would you have to boil every button that came off the "assembly" line?
