Highstreet Vs. High End: Mickey Mouse Tee

S
When is your last time you wore a pair of tee with cartoon characters on it? Last milennium? A decade ago? Yesterday? If you answer yesterday, then you still got a lot to take care on the 'up there' (your mindset, your head.. silly). I think in planet fashion, it seems that people has turned from becoming an adult into a kidult. Yup, just like the movie title Kidulthood. It seems that it's okay to wear a tee with cartoon characters on it like these lots with Mickey Mouse, a superbly well-known and much-loved icon in the world of animation.

Now you don't have to go to Disneyland to get a pair of Mickey Mouse tee. (I got one at Disneyland Paris last 10 years back, unfortunately!). From the designer brand to highstreet labels, Mickey seems to get printed on the front facade of the tee. From the modern version in Mickey Mouse signature colors black/white/red/yellow to the classic one in subdued monochrome - they are seen at previous D&G Autumn/Winter 2010/11 show in Milan early this year. And you can get them in-store or online at a whopping price tag of £120! For real? Yes... yikes!

But for those who're rather an economisto than a true fashionisto - this one at H&M can also rock the look. Sporting a similar classic Mickey on the front, this tee doesn't cost the earth - it's only £7.99. Cheap, huh? If you're lucky, you can get another 20% off if you subscribe to H&M newsletter or from the H&M iPhone app (by which you have to shake it to get it). That'll make just about £6.40. Come on, think economy people... you can buy a cup of coffee with the rest of the change, won't you? :)
