Forget About The Recession In This $57,000 Armani Maxi Coat! (PHOTOS)

T magazine, the New York Times style magazine, published an editorial on maxi coats for Fall/Winter 2011 and one item caught our eye: a $57,000 bathrobe coat by Giorgio Armani. That's right, $57,000! That's it above on the left.

There are handful of people in the world who can actually afford this coat and they include Oprah, Beyonce and Victoria Beckham. The average Joanna? Not so much.

We're not even sure if Victoria would buy this; she'd probably get it for free seeing as how she's worked with Armani in the past.

We're not knocking Armani for designing this shabby looking thing. We're just saying, that's crazy! 

If you can afford it, would you pay $57K for a coat? Let us know!
