Smells like a marketing ploy to me. The only reason anyone would buy this shirt is to be able to brag about their $40,000 shirt. Seems kind of redundant to me...
That said, I kind of want one... pair it with a nice black suit, shoes made out of some endangered species, no tie and call it a day. ic12337:
From the website, it seems most of the value of the shirt derives from the "seven diamomnds that adorn the studs and cufflinks".
Yout too could have such a shirt, all you need is set of $40,000 diamond cufflinks and studs. Not a difficult proposition.
A true diamond shirt, however, should at least have the front panel covered in diamonds in toto. To make such a shirt would not only cost more than $40,000, but would require significant handwork attaching each diamond to the shirt.
A shirt with just the collars and cuffs covered with diamonds could be offered in a diffusion line.
One would hope also, that such a shirt be made not according to a European fashion, but more in like with some ancient garnment.
It has been done with pearls, why not with diamonds.
1) The first comment on the Flickr page is from my friend Duane - hardly a sartorialist, and we haven't spoken since he suggested that Republicans want to put gays in concentration camps, but I think his comment was remarkably accurate.
2) One can get Kopi Luwak, and many other, better, less expensive coffes, from www.jmartinezfinecoffees. Supporting an Atlanta business.
Conspicuous consumption has always been part of the human fabric. Last weekends Wall Street Journal had a piece about costly items- the lead to the piece was a $43,000 suit being made by Brioni. Brioni says they have sold 30 suite. Any AAAC members among the buyers?

Rather go to Richard Anderson and get a blazer with guanasena (spelling?) and baby cashmere with bespoke gold buttons for £14k. Then about £3k on super 250's trousers, £7.5k on John Lobb bespoke croc shoes and £500 on the matching belt. With the remaing £5k, get Alex to make me some shirts

I would like to see the neck tie that goes with it.
