I heard that there was some guy in Hollywood spotted wearing a diamond-studded sweatshirt. That seems so absurd! Is this true? What company makes this shirt and how much does a diamond-studded sweatshirt cost? Also, what kind of event would you wear it to?

Yes, there actually is a diamond-studded sweatshirt out there on the market. I know, it does sound strange and hard to believe, but it exists. At this year's American Music Awards, singer Colby O'Donis was spotted wearing a $10,000 diamond-studded zip up hoodie. Now, to be fair, most of the sparkling rocks are actually Swarovski crystals-- over 4,000 of them! The only real diamond on the hoodie is the zipper pull, which is a three-carat diamond. This specific sweatshirt is definitely menswear, so ladies, you're gonna have to wait till a woman's version appears. That is, unless you want to wear a gray zip up hoodie with the image of a bull skull studded with Swarovski crystals. Apparently, Konquest wants this shimmering sweatshirt was designed to bring attention to their new line. Konquest added that 30% of the profits from sales of this shiny shirt will be donated to organizations trying to raise funds for building schools in Uganda. The word on the street is that numerous LA stores will have this diamond-studded sweatshirt on display along with the rest of the Konquest line.
