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.
#1 This Is An Actual Product. It Is A Chewing Gum Holder
It holds five pieces of gum. Let’s look at the price. $1025. And honestly, I’m not even mad. If you can convince somebody to pay a thousand dollars for a chewing gum holder, okay, that’s on them at this point.

#2 This Is A $10,000 Tiffany & Co. Tin Can
Are we a joke to rich people?

#3 This Plastic Clip From Prada Will Run You $495
But it does serve two purposes. On the one hand, it holds your hair back. It will also let strangers know that you’re not a person that’s worth talking to.

#6 We’re Going To Look At A Very Special Coat From Rick Owens
Let me tell you up front, I always have something against white winter coats anyway, because I feel like they’re absolutely going to get dirty no matter what you do, even if you’re just walking down a street with salt on it. But these ridiculous arm things guarantee that it will get filthy. Part of what I find so funny here is that it’s got these ludicrously long arms, but the actual arms are very short. This is not part of the jacket. So it has these ludicrously long sleeves, but not a sleeve where your arm needs to be. And why, why would you tuck it up? It’s on sale now for nearly 2,000, marked down from 4,600. It is possible to wear the super long sleeve if you, like, yank it up your arm. I know they’re trying to have a fashion moment. This is all I see. Anyone who’s watched Studio Ghibli, all I see.

#7 These Are $1,100 Alaia Ankle Boots
I hate these boots. I don’t think this is creative. I think it’s real Ed Gein looking.

Well, I don’t have to decide with a cross between this beer can shoe, gold brooch thing, and faux floral. Only 4k from Dolce & Gabbana.

#21 This Is A $710 Hermes Saddle Box
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.
