Tour Merch as Fashion: Fast, Furious, Finished
Summer '16 saw the boom and the bust of what we're calling "status merch," the concert memorabilia so fashion-focused it wound up in boutiques and Barneys. Now that you can find authorized versions of these tour goods in fast-fashion stores, they've been relegated from rare to run-of-the-mill.
