A listing on ultra-fast-fashion e-commerce site Shein used an AI-generated image of Luigi Mangione to sell a floral button-down t-shirt.Mangionethe prime suspect in the December 2024 murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompsonis being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, last I checked, and is not modeling for Shein.I first saw the Mangione Shein listing on the culture and news X account Popcrave, which posted the listing late Tuesday evening.Sheins website appears to use Luigi Mangiones face to model a spring/summer shirt. pic.twitter.com/UPXW8fEPPq Pop Crave (@PopCrave) September 3, 2025Shein removed the listing on Wednesday, but someone saved it on the Internet Archive before Shein took it down. "The image in question was provided by a third-party vendor and was removed immediately upon discovery," Shein told Newsweek in a statement. "We have stringent standards for all listings on our platform. We are conducting a thorough investigation, strengthening our monitoring processes, and will take appropriate action against the vendor in line with our policies." Shein did not immediately reply to 404 Medias request for comment.The item, sold by the third-party brand Manfinity, had the description Men's New Spring/Summer Short Sleeve Blue Ditsy Floral White Shirt, Pastoral Style Gentleman Shirt For Everyday Wear, Family Matching Mommy And Me (3 Pieces Are Sold Separately).The Manfinity brand makes a lot of Shein stuff using AI-generated models, like these gym bros selling PUSH HARDER t-shirts and gym sweats and this very tough guy wearing a NAH, IM GOOD tee. AI-generated models are all over Shein, and seems especially popular with listings featuring babies and toddlers. AI models in fashion are becoming more mainstream; in July, Vogue ran advertisements for Guess featuring AI-generated women selling the brands summer collection.Last year, artists sued Shein, alleging the Chinese e-commerce giant scraped the internet using AI and stole their designs, and its been well-documented that fast fashion sites use bots to identify popular themes and memes from social media to put them on their own listings. Mangione merch and anything related to the caseincluding remixes of the United Healthcare logo and the Deny, Defend, Depose line allegedly found on the bulletwent wild in the weeks following Thompsons murder; Manfinity might have generated what seemed popular on social media (Mangiones smiling face) and automatically put it on a shirt listing. Based on the archived listing, it worked: A lot of people managed to grab a limited edition Shein Luigi Ditsy Floral before it was removed: According to the archived version of the listing, it was sold out of all sizes except for XXL.
