Even the model looks disgusted. UGH indeed!

Is it just me or is this in extremely bad taste? Karmaloo, are you mocking McQueen?

If you hadn’t already nominated the Cunt of the Week, whoever designed these shirts would be it.

What the….!

Really classy to be ripping off somebody’s death.
Somebody I know bought this which seems to have gone into production the second the news about the death broke:

Extremely bad taste.
And if somebody desperately feels the need to express their grief over McQueen though a t-shirt (god knows the world is full of people who define themselves with printed t-shirts) one would think they would and could DIY a shirt rather than spend over 40 dollars on some extremely tacky, probably sweatshop-produced t-shirt.

This is so bad it has forced to me to stop lurking and pass judgement on it.
May 1st, 2010 at 1:57 am
Mmm, tasteful
May 1st, 2010 at 2:03 am
Speechless and disgusted.

This could only be in poorer taste if it came with a free death mask and a picture of his Mum on a keyring.
The misuse of the word ‘tribute’ in this context really irks me. Nothing about this tacky piece of shit is an acknowledgment of gratitude, respect, or admiration for the talent that was McQueen.
I thought the fridge magnets on Ebay were as low as people could go. I was clearly very, very wrong.

This seems unnecessarily mean.
May 1st, 2010 at 4:29 am
utterly tasteless.
May 1st, 2010 at 6:11 am
Absolutely idiotic.
May 1st, 2010 at 6:15 am
What the fuck.
May 1st, 2010 at 8:47 am
disgusting.
May 1st, 2010 at 9:48 am
What is that even supposed to mean? Not only is it wildly insulting to make a tee shirt in the name of a designer who made intricate and artful clothing, but the slogan doesn’t even seem to mean anything! It’s really disgusting to just throw the word “suicide” around.
May 1st, 2010 at 11:38 am
Yeah, I normally like the goods at karmaloop but this is pretty bad!
May 1st, 2010 at 1:09 pm
WTF? And, yeah, it doesn’t even make sense!
May 1st, 2010 at 4:31 pm
Man, Fuck People!
People are just so fucking dumb.
And so Exploitative!
I am going. To Bed.

Thats so awful.
Poor Alexander. He was so amazing and is very missed.
Thats so fucked up.
May 1st, 2010 at 8:42 pm
This is tasteless AND confusing.
May 1st, 2010 at 9:31 pm
Major Fail on the part of Karmaloop in my opinion. They will probably sell out of those little suckers. Forever21 will rip them off in a year. It is cynical but possible.

Shameless, but how typical of fashion to cash in on everything. I was reading in a magazine that hours after the volcanic ash cloud grounded most of Europe, a beauty PR declared that, when it comes to eyeliner, ash grey is the new black.

Mother of God!
May 2nd, 2010 at 9:25 am
Boycott Karmaloop.
May 2nd, 2010 at 10:00 am
redheaddashionista: that is just too much, lol.
May 2nd, 2010 at 10:37 am
WTF, man?
May 2nd, 2010 at 2:03 pm
is that what made mcqueen suicidal!? (hands over face)
May 2nd, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Not only is it stupid but it’s laid out REALLY poorly from a design standpoint.
WTF? Who approved this?

I don’t get it either! It doesn’t make sense, it’s just loathsome and stupid.
