Once the preserve of fans in moshpits at gigs, the band T-shirt cemented its high fashion status this week with an endorsement from a luxury fashion brand – and the price tag to match.
As part of their The Vintage collection, Saint Laurent is now selling secondhand band T-shirts for thousands of pounds. Nirvana dominates with the classic smiley face T-shirt selling for £700 and an In Utero T-shirt priced at £2,510. One T-shirt – featuring the cover of 1992 compilation Incesticide – has hit the headlines. It was sold for an eye-watering £3,295.
