LOS ANGELES - A high-end online retailer is turning heads with a $1,245 "T-Shirt Shirt" - that is, a T-shirt with a button-down shirt stuck to its front. Balenciaga's Fall 2018 collection, available now on the brand's website, includes the pricey "T-Shirt Shirt," which appears to be nothing more than a T-shirt with an empty checkered button-down shirt sewn or glued to its front. The site says the shirt boasts "two wearing options" - ostensibly as a T-shirt or a button-down. The unusual garment went viral on Twitter, where commentators were quick to mock up their own cheaper knock-off versions as well as adapt the style to pants and other articles of clothing. The high-end brand previously made headlines last year when it released a $2,145 blue tote bag that observers quickly noticed bears a more than slight resemblance to the 99-cent tote bags sold at Ikea. - Agencies
