FOR $737, YOU CAN NOW BUY A DESIGNER DRY CLEANING BAG

There’s nothing more “one per cent” than taking something meant for utility and making it about status. Think Balenciaga’s $2,000 IKEA shopping bag. To this inauspicious list, we add Moschino’s $737 dry-cleaning bag dress. The clear dress debuted back in February and is now readily available for customers almost anywhere. Indeed, those who launder their own clothing may recognize the garment as that which holds garments. But to those for whom laundry is a non-concept, this is a garment, this is a dress, this is fashion and they will wear it proudly as if entirely unaware of its connotations. Emblazoned with the requisite “We <3 Our Customers” sign, plus a handy “Free Pick Up & Delivery” note skimming the hem, it’s certainly a unique number.
