$91,500 t-shirt, anyone?

Where can you find New York City's most expensive t-shirt?  Obvi at the Hermés store on Madison Avenue. For only $91,500 you, too, can purchase this fabulously luxurious crocodile shirt. Thanks to The Awl for showing me how peasant-y I really am.

"Forgive me for not having pictures of the t-shirt itself; photographs are forbidden at the Hermès store, most probably as an anti-knockoff policy, or possibly to keep secret the fact that there are t-shirts that cost MORE THAN THREE OR FOUR ACTUALLY QUITE DECENT CARS.

Also we should point out that the sales tax alone would be around $8000. (I mean, obviously you would get it shipped out-of-state to not pay that tax, but still!)"

Saint Laurent, No Yves

The famed Yves Saint Laurent label is said to be changing its name to Saint Laurent Paris.  The label was founded in 1962 by Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé, and new creative director Hedi Silmane is said to be re-branding the fashion house to usher it into a new era. The iconic YSL logo, however, is said to remain the same.  My issues with this are twofold: 1) The name isn't going to be any shorter. If they're trying to make it more succinct, wouldn't shortening it be the key?  2) It bothers me when letters don't match up with the words. So the "YSL" logo will be the same, but there will be no Y. To me that's a WTF? 

Question: How will this affect the rap game? 

"Close your eyes and imagine, feel the magic, Vegas on acid, Seen through Yves Saint Laurent glasses"

- Kanye West, "Diamonds"

"Seen it on the blog, These muhf*ckas cost, Yves Saint Laurent, You can tell by the fonts" 

- Tyga, "I'm So Raw"

"Is that her in the VIP line, With the Vuitton and Yves Saint Laurent, Used to drive a Nissan now she in a Beamer"

- Future, "Turn on the Lights"

"By your appearance I can get a glimpse of your vibe, They say you are what you wear, I am Yves Saint Laurent mixing Martin Margiela" 

- Diggy Simmons, "Digg is Like"

"Yves Saint Laurent knitted, shorts bermuda, You would think they were Pucci if you overlooked Medusa"

- Pusha T, "Comedy Central"

Answer: Very much so.

Iggy the Model

That seems about right. Miss Iggy Azalea, the Grand Hustle-signed Aussie rapper, has just inked a deal with famed modeling agency Wilhelmina International, Inc.  After being the first ever female lyricist to be featured in XXL's freshman class, the hate has been real.  I'm sure this modeling gig will only add fuel to the fire.  With all of this hype, her yet to be released album "The New Classic" better be FIRE!  But again...even if it isn't, being a gorgeous 22 year old with dope style means that you can't really lose. 

Ooooooooooooooh.

During my 18 hr. excursion to NYC for Poppa Walters' bday, per the norm, I saw a host of women who could only be described as, "fresh a** muhf*ckas," walking the streets.  Wellllllll, THAT prompted me to make my way on down to thesartorialist.com to see what was (and, still is) hatnin' outchea in the wonderful world we live in, as it relates to personal style.  Look what I found!

I dig these chicks.
