$1465: That's what a nylon+paper bag from Issey Miyake costs. Then the price of this cut-up sock makes sense: it's not an iPhone accessory, it's a luxury fashion item.

I used to love browsing SSENSE, trying to figure out fashion. I still don’t get it.

I think the appeal of high fashion is indivisible from class signaling.
