So that Kanye West x A.P.C. collaboration we were semi-mocking? Looks like Kanye has had the last laugh.
People StyleWatch reports that the debut of the Kanye West x A.P.C. capsule collection swamped the A.P.C. website this morning, crashing the site and nearly selling out completely . We checked out the situation ourselves (research purposes, of course) and found that many of the pieces are only available for pre-order, although there are items still listed as in-stock.
Notably popular was the $120 Hip-Hop T-Shirt . While $120 for a plain white tee might not seem a lot to fashion folks (Hermes sells one for $345) , many Kanye fans are predictably annoyed. As one Redditor put it , "Fruit of Loom are selling knock off shirts in 4 packs for like 10 bucks. Don't tell Kanye."
Hey, at least the tee is cheaper than the $280 sweatshirts and the $265 jeans .
You can put in your pre-order at A.P.C.'s (slow but finally functioning) website now -- just don't expect prompt delivery. The website warns buyers that shipping of the in-demand pieces can take months. Oh, and there are no refunds or exchanges. Yeezy wouldn't have it any other way.
