We've seen diamond shirts and diamond jackets before but Konquest Clothing took diamond bedazzling to the next ridiculous level with the $10,000 diamond hoodie which features over 4,000 Swarovski crystals and a three-carat diamond zipper pull. The hoodie was shown off at the American Music Awards by singer Colby O'Donis. It's not all just senseless display Konqest says the hoodie was designed to draw attention to the new line and raise funds for building schools in Uganda and that 30% of the profit will be donated to charity. The hoodie will go on display at several stores in Los Angeles which carry the line. The Konquest Clothing line is from the same people behind the $10,000 Key Closet jeans which O'Donis is also wearing in the picture above.

support schools in Uganda...Oh you mean to school the kids that slaved to actually pick those diamonds?

actually diamonds don't come from uganda, they come mainly from south africa, botswana and angola!

moreover, maybe you should direct your criticism at profit-driven exploiters of african resources, not a company that's brave enough to take action, notwithstanding the irony of what sells.
