Fashion is an unashamed minefield of quirky fetishes.
With more and more designers trying to make subtle statements rather than a simple shirt, I have the utmost sympathy for mother of 18-year-old Katie.
Katie’s mum bought her a Vivienne Westwood t-shirt, presumably for a pretty penny, only to find she’d inadvertently given her daughter a depiction of a mass orgy.

Yup. That’s right. Look a little closer and you’ll see a very NSFW pattern emerging from the designer t-shirt.
The t-shirt is covered in tiny gold play-dough people having as much fun as two-dimensional figures can have while taking their clothes off.
Katie, 18, told Mashable her mum is now a viral sensation:
She’s finding it hilarious but is just as confused as I am with why it’s getting so much attention.
I think she secretly knew and was just trying to wind me up but every time she looks at the shirt she just laughs hysterically.

Despite a lot of red-faces in their household, Katie has decided to embrace fashion at its peak fetish.
Someone call the fashion police. This is public indecency at its most over-priced.
