Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman fawned over the "beautiful" actress Kate del Castillo, while she confessed her "dream" of meeting him in leaked text messages filled with warm exchanges.
And while most of us wouldn't consider the expert escapee a trendsetter, the $128 shirts are now on back order, Esteghbal said: "Orders keep coming in, people really want that shirt!"
Guzman's ties with del Castillo began publicly in 2012 when the actress, who has fronted campaigns for L'Oreal and Ford, wrote an open letter calling on the capo to "traffic in goodness" and saying she believed more in him than the government.
"If during the dinner El Chapo gave them money, or jewels, or he gave them money for the movie or any other transaction, they could be charged with money laundering", Barragan y Salvatierra said.
"What's the name of this actor again?" he asked his lawyer when a Mexican television star contacted him about doing an interview with Mr. Penn.

Penn, who wrote about the October 2 meeting with Guzman in a Rolling Stone article published on Saturday, said the kingpin wanted Del Castillo to help him make a biopic about himself. More than a year after the massacre of 43 students in the town of Iguala, the government's investigation has made little headway.
Before his brazen jailbreak a year ago, the notorious drug boss instructed his lawyers to trademark his name, giving Mexican authorities their first clue that he wanted to make a film of his life, local media said on Tuesday. "Mr Guzman is a very serious man, very intelligent", Badillo said. Guzman has been moved eight times at the Altiplano prison since his recapture Friday, he said.
