No, the title of this entry is not a typo. Yes, we’re finding it …searching for the right word…bizarre, weird, strange …still searching…that we just used "Hot Topic" and "couture" in the same sentence. It wins the prize hands down as the biggest Twilight related oxymoron(how’s that for the right word) we’ve ever run across, and that is saying something! So, what do you think about the latest from Hot Topic?
I think the shirts are very cute…but I’m not going to pay $60 for one shirt. I love my Twilight merch and have lots of it (including Esme’s bracelet—love it!), but to pay $60 for one shirt? nah. $30, yeah, but not $60. They are very cute though, so I say if ya like it…GET IT
)
I really like the design. The black one is my favorite. However, I think they’re overpriced and I haven’t seen one of the shirts in person, but they look cheaply made. If it was $20, I’d get one. But I don’t spend $60 on any type of clothing…
Oh I think they’re pretty. I love the traditional shirts with the hands and the apple or just the title, but these have the feel, you know?
LOL!!! WHOA!!! VERY SEE THROUGH!! ( left top hand)
How ’bout “ew”? ;P
hmmm…the tee’s are cute and all….but i’m not paying 60 smackaroos for a bit of studded cotton
i think it would be cool to have a alice cullen line of clothing
not going to pay that much for no dang tee
The tees are hot. I’d buy one. I don’t care if they’re $60. I have a job, and pretty well-paying one I might add, so I can afford it.
Pepper – preach on, sistah.
FYI, the following statement employs a lot of sarcasm:
I just love how elitist people are.
WTF do people do when their wishes are granted (i.e. more exposure for our fave novels/movie, merchandise reflecting our obsession)? They condemn the hand that feeds it. Get over yourselves people. It’s extremely immature and snobbish to suddenly cry “sell out!” – study economics, then you’ll understand what/why for Hot Topic.
People will do and say anything to stay isolated in their self-absorbed worlds where anything that remotely becomes “commercialized” is suddenly verbotten.
You’re damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. We’d hear nonstop b*tching and moaning if no companies paid our fandom any attention and we had nothing to show for our obsessive love of all things Twilight. Just go with it and enjoy it. If you don’t want to buy the tees, fine, don’t buy the tees. But you lower yourselves by being elitist and spouting irrational comments regarding one company’s attempt to stay afloat in a normally bad time for retail (that “bad time” would be the recession we’re currently in, for you people who have no idea what I’m talking about). It’s capitalism at its finest, folks, so deal with it.
They’re really cute
I love the whole Cullen Crest in general. To me, it totally seems like something the Cullens would have. Just to show that they really are a family even though none of them are technically related 
The design around it is also very pretty, I love how it flows.
The pricing and limited printing, however, are very unhappymaking
They’re WAY overpriced, specially for being freakin see-through! and I always hate things that are made with such a limited amount just because of how many people are sad because they can’t afford it in time before its sold out (I know I won’t be able to).
So, yes on the design, no for the price
maybe some awesome people will have em on ebay for cheaper xD
ohhhh prettyyyy!!
*checks price*
oh hell no..
I know all of you are saying its all about the money….but like, what isn’t these days???
Merch to do with any major seller -ie Star Wars, Twilight etc- is always going to be overpriced. (I mean have you SEEN those star wars clone helmets?? Its like paying 90 bux for plastic!!)
Our world revolves around money! All we can do is pray to god that they’ll actually do something useful with the money that crazed fans hand to them.
But personally; kudos to the awesome shhirts!! I was like niiiiiiiiiice when I saw the pics. I really like them. Sorta edgy too. I really want one
:):)
I wonder how much shipping is……..
I think they are taking advantage of the fans charging that kind of price for a t-shirt and a hoodie!! its really kind of ridiculous.
The t-shirts are definitely overpriced, but I like the concept, even if it’s not “couture” in the literal sense.
I have to say, I’m a fan of the Cullen crest… I looked it up, and it’s a combination of the two historical Cullen family coat-of-arms crests, which is pretty cool. It’s not 100% historically accurate, color-wise, but I still love that they put in historical details like that. The Cullens have a lot of history, after all. Especially with Carlisle’s heritage, which is what the crest represents.
And sure, the Cullens don’t wear them in the books, but I thought it was a great way to represent their family unity on-screen. (And also a good marketing move, of course, because of the merchandise opportunities. Oh, well, what can you do? That’s capitalism. I still love my Alice choker. ;D)
Well isn’t that special… when they can make every single shirt… and i mean every single shirt and that includes the hoodies for their sister store, Torrid… let us all know…
I personally like the mens hoodies… why you may ask… cause they look nicer…. and are more decorative… they don’t just say TWILIGHT…
actually the twilight saga does not come out this year anymore, it is moved into 2009
In a few months, Twilight will most likley fade out of the stores and Harry Potter will take over for their newest installment, so just enjoy the Twilight mania while it still lasts…until New Moon explodes into theaters…then it just start all over again.
i love it but 60bucks! 50 is already pushing it!
I think the did a poor job on the design… it’s quite unattractive. It could have been so much nicer – especially for that price…
Their ok, but the price is kind of $$$ but not as $$$ compared to the hoodie thats $90!!

To bad they’re stuff is not cheaper. I would have gotten somethings!
did any one see this? it’s a twilight scented perfume…funny I never knew books and movis had scents…

The new shirts are nice, but I’m definitely not going to pay $60 for a t-shirt.
My roommate and I were having a discussion about hot topic and borders and other places selling twilight related things. I think its great that the books are getting popular, and that movies are being made, but like my roommate said, people are just falling for the business/commercial aspect of twilight. I mean dont get me wrong, I will admit that I bought the twilight calender @ borders before the movie came out, and i bought the stupid lamb tshirt from twilight for the midnight showing, but things are getting a little out of control. I love how things were before the movie came out, where you can find t-shirts on the internet that had things from the book, and not from the movie. Everything that hot topic and borders are selling is from the movie perspective, except for the team jacob and team edward t shirts. I do appreciate the movie and the actors and everything about it, but it seems like people are appreciating the movie more than the actual book…
yea i agree with pretty much everything you say….i think its getting to commercial and people really aren’t appreciating the actual book…
and idk….i dont really like the shirts. i would like them better if they had stuff from the book not from the movie…also 60 bucks!! honestly…thats way to much
i like the shirts, they’re cute. but 60 bucks??? who’s gonna pay that!?
Was it too much to ask for sparkles?
“who’s gonna pay that!?”
i did.
I believe the word they were looking for was “t-shirt”, not “couture”. High fashion this is not.
I totally bought the hoody as a Christmas present to myself. WOO. I think it’s pretty! And the shirts are nice too, but I think one Twilight related garment is good enough for now, haha.
I’m glad they made these b/c I’m a little too old to be wearing a shirt with Robert Pattinson’s face on it, lol.
This stuff is similar to the “Disney Couture” shirts that Disney had out a while ago. It’s just supposed to be a little more “fashion” and not so “movie”, that’s all.
And, uh, hey, it’s not nearly as awful as the Edward Body Shimmer that you can also get at HT. For 9.99 you can shimmer like a vampire!
Okay people slow down, a few years back when we all prayed Twilight would hit the silver screens werent we hoping for the big bang that soon followed? Seriously Twilight may be everywhere but it was asked for with millions of fans begging for a movie. I personally love that hot topic is milking the twilight train, they are simply giving us what we wanted. Yes it may be overpriced, but seriously its hot topic I have always recalled them with a little bit of high prices. But i still gladly gave them my money to keep sucessfully intergrating the market. If it wasn’t for stores like hot topic you wouldnt have had a pretty tee to wear to the movie (which some ppl went to a mass amount of times) so either way the money you put into the stores and filmakers that sell Twilight for all its worth. Just think its all coming back to us anyway with the continuing of the silver screen versions of our beloved books
Also that guy is really cute =)
Just so you know, they one that is “see-through” is a burnout material-they’re supposed to be like that.
The dude kinda looks like a younger, less scruffy Chris Angel…
OMG THEY HAVE TWILIGHT PERFUME!!! IM SOOO BUYING THAT!!!!
The shirts are nice, but they don’t really relate to Twilight. The patterns are very good, but I don’t see the connection. The designs don’t really scream out couture, but they’re still pretty.
I agree that the shirts are overpriced but the overpriced part comes from the company name…The materials could be as similiar as to Old Navy. Anyways…they also feature Lion and Lamb rings which I will purchase for my better half than I *shrugs*
meh their t-shirts.
just t-shirts.
only t-shirts.
rather cute t-shirts.
As for me the shirts are totally cute!I got a Twilight shirt at Hot Topic at the mall today and yeah it was expensive but what isn’t these days?!?! I mean I wanted to buy underwear too but its 3 for $15 or 1 for $6!!! Who would pay that kind of money for clothing that covers not even half of you and that no ones gonna see?!?!?!? But I love the tees!!! If you want the shirts that bad you’ll find a way to buy it but if you really don’t to take the time to save up some money then obviously you dont want the shirt too bad!!
Awesome, finally a Twilight shirt thats not trashy.
