30 Examples Of ‘Stupid Rich People Fashion’ That Prove Money Can’t Buy Taste

Mindaugas Balčiauskas and Agne Steponaityte

Fashion is an art form. Sometimes it’s iconic and timeless, other times it’s extravagant, bold, and borderline crazy. It’s a reflection of the times that mirrors the current culture, the mood of society, and the values of the present. Clothing collections can have thought-provoking messages as well as highlight the beauty of craftsmanship.

Fashion is also a business. A good testament to that is that the two families that own the majority of luxury fashion brands, the Arnaults (Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Dior) and the Pinaults (Gucci, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen), are billionaires. The head of the former, Bernard Arnault, is, in fact, the second richest person on earth.

So, from all that, it is easy to deduce that at least some of those kooky garments have kooky prices. And maybe they would all go unnoticed if not for a TikToker that goes by refashionedhippie, who has made it her mission to expose all the ridiculously overpriced things offered by luxury brands.

The TikToker started a series called “Stupid rich people fashion” where she pokes fun at various items with absurd price tags. Scroll down to see the best of what she’s found online.

Now, this one I thought like, okay, you know, maybe it's Hermes, so it's really well made, like nice leather or something. It is cardboard covered with craft paper. Never let anyone say that rich people are better than poor. It's cardboard.

This is evident when you check the ethical production score of some of the luxury brands. For example, Versace has not taken any action to minimize microplastic impact or protect biodiversity in its supply chain. Chanel is also not doing anything about the hazardous chemicals used in clothes manufacturing. On top of that, both of them together with Dior and Louis Vuitton have never provided any evidence on paying living wages for everyone in the supply chain. And this is coming from brands that could afford all that.

So, the next time you wish to splurge on something that’s fancy and of high quality, don’t just go for the most well-known brand assuming you’ll get a fair deal. Do a little bit of research and spend your hard-earned money on something that will truly serve you for years. And will not rip you off by charging $400 dollars for a dog poop bag.
