It’s been more than ten years since Kanye West and Stacey Dash twirled in that airport terminal to the now anthem of hyper-materialism, “All Falls Down.” Kanye West fans can now completely embody the lyrics and principles of the song with a $400 Bandulu “Polo” shirt complete with an embroidered mustard stain like the one featured in the video. The upside is the brand shelling out the shirts actually sounds pretty cool. According to its site:
“Bandulu means fake, bootleg, ghetto. Like that white tee from Marshall’s with the name of some couturier, screenprinted in gold. That little bit of luxury gives clothing a story, with or without vanity. Bandulu believes in adding this quality to the clothes of our world, through upcycling and craftsmanship. Bandulu takes quality, vintage clothing and rejuvenate life into them through hand embellishments. Quality therefore becomes less about reputation, and more about integrity. You know its real if its fake.”
(Personally, the “All Falls Down” video–see below–has cost me enough already. It was the sole reason I bought that stupid see-through Louis Vuitton, but that’s what Kanye’ll do to ya…)
