I’m browsing H&M and these choices look so random…

We’ve got Claude Monet and Van Gogh - sure, i love their paintings as much as the next person, but a T-shirt usually celebrates people or groups who are still alive, right?

And then “university of michigan” - why is faux university paraphenilia considered stylish?? Hell this is a bigger question than my original one. I’m shopping in Britain and the brand is European, what significance does University of Michigan have on our lives?

The various band name t shirts make the most sense, but for a while now there’s bee. The whole “oh you like Band Name? Name 3 of their songs.” attitude, so i see it dying off

Not intended as advertising btw.

    Yep there are only a few “brands” I buy, because I liked them when I was younger, basically - but if you pay attention to the tags, you might see “vendor ID numbers” or something like that, showing where the brand itself bought the item from, commissioned with their brand or tags added. Sometimes I’ve looked for specific numbers if I’m trying to find a shirt that fit really well, or was really well made, and I want others like it.

    I’m talking brands like GAP, Vans, Aero, American Eagle, etc.
