Ashley Tisdale and Nicky Hilton favorite Trash & Luxury has come out with its latest set of fashiony T-shirts. This time around, the designs are darker and serious. One style is this Trash & Luxury Poverty Sucks Tee ($40) featuring Coco Chanel's shadow. I'm not a T-shirt girl but I can see myself in this one because it's super stylish. And yes, Coco's poverty-stricken beginnings sucked, but look where she ended up in the end?!

1She still wasn't as rich as she could have been b/c of bad business deals... She didn't even own the rights to Chanel Number 5.... anyway... I think it would be better if proceeds from this T-shirt went to end poverty, but seeing this shirt on Hollywood's up and coming doesn't seem like the most humble of messages. And makes me think of them all as even more pretentious, wasteful, and self centered.
2Wow is that tasteless.
3Hm Fab..."ended up in the end"?
4Haha I like it.
I think it's cute.
5i agree with stef. completely tasteless. anyone wearing that would come across as vapid and ignorant.
6the shirt looks OK. but i m not gonna pay $40 for this. i can buy similar one at forever21 for maybe 15 or 20 bucks.
7Well I have to say I love-hate it. Yes I know a confusing emotion but a true emotion. I like the design of the tee and it would be something that would fit nicely into my closet that's the love. Now the hate, the message that "poverty sucks" is a true one, and I would love it if Trash & Luxury would donate a portion of each tee sold to some type of organization assist the impoverished/homeless.
8Tasteless.
9Tacky! Way to just rub it in people who actually live in poverty's faces that you can afford a $40 t-shirt. It would be different if a portion of the proceeds went to a poverty-related charity.
10Pretty tasteless.
11That's tasteless and tacky. It reflects a flippant attitude towards those who really ARE impoverished. AND it's not even cute - it looks like something for sale on a sketchy side street stall for $5.
12Love it.
13It seems to be coming a pattern, me loving what the majority of the votes hate
Couldn't care about the message one way or another -- I just can't stand that fit! Honestly, that type of cut looks good on next t ono one. Blech.
14Almost cute, except that this is just too pretentious. Anyone who would and could pay $40 for this rag doesn't understand poverty and how it sucks. Combining this message with the silhouette of one of the most iconic fashion figureheads is just...ick. This just comes off as flippant, ignorant, and spoiled.
15It is tacky and it looks cheap.
16i agree: tasteless and unrespectful
17What a horrible messege to send out to people. Poverty is not something a company should be capitalizing on. Thats pathetic. Poverty is a HUGE problem, and shouldn't be turned into the latest fashion.
18Love the t-shirt, but the price is too expensive.
19Loves it but not the message.
20It's cute as a design, but the saying's rude, to say the least.
21I was undecided at first, but I think other's people's opinions clarified my own. The design is okay, but nothing special, the fit isn't especially flattering, and the saying is too flip, mostly because the people wearing it will know nothing of poverty.
22LOVE!!!!
23tasteless for sure.
I wouldnt wear it.
24Tasteless, disrespectful and utterly fugly. If somebody wears a shirt like this, why don't he /she just do something , in his/her own little way to contribute to the appeasing of poor people or improving the poor's conditions.
25The people who would wear it probably wouldn't know what poverty really is.
A shirt that reeks of "I don't get it" must appeal to someone, who, I can't imagine.
26Tasteless and shows a complete lack of compassion. Should have spent the money printing those shirts on food for homeless children.
27I think it's ugly, tacky and overpriced.
28"Poverty sucks"? Why not donate your millions in profit to charity instead of making money off of it?
It's in poor taste.
29Oh. my. God. I voted undecided because I don't hate the design & cut (minus the, um, "message"), but holy freakin' crap. Tactless up the wazoo.
30Maybe if the profits went to help end poverty. Otherwise it's snobby.
31Terrible.
32hella disrespectful. you try living in poverty!
