Fashion-Depricating Tees

The Acapulco Gold 'Another Piece of Crap' Shirt is Sassy

— July 11, 2012 — Fashion
The Acapulco Gold 'Another Piece of Crap' shirt is a playful interpretation on the name of the popular French brand, A.P.C..

There is an iconic A.P.C. tee that features a similar self-depricating slogan, "FASHION IS FOR LOSERS," which Acapulco Gold may be giving a nod to. However, realistically, the not-so-subtle phrase is probably making fun of the expensive brand's namesake. Since the shirt stamps the wearer with such attitude, it holds high potential to offend different individuals. This is not the first shirt of its kind to ridicule a high-end brand though, as the SSUR released its 'Comme des Fuckdown' wear, a gutsy take on the 'COMME des GARCONS' line.

Whatever the intention, 'Another Piece of Crap' is an unmistakably hilarious play on words.
