This isn't minimalism. The clothes themselves are of a minimalist art style, but the service is elitist and wasteful.
If you want to only have simple clothing, that's perfectly fine. If you don't want to have to spend a lot of thought on clothing, that's awesome! I'm the same way.
However, subscribing to an overpriced service that sends you clothing on a schedule is extremely wasteful. It's basically planned obsolescence in clothing form. It is just as simple to go find a few articles of clothing you really like and wear those until they are no longer wearable, then donate/sell and replace.
Minimalism is about maximizing the value out of things you own while minimizing their impact on your life. This accomplishes neither.

That's largely a matter of personal taste. >However, subscribing to an overpriced service that sends you clothing on a schedule is extremely wasteful. High price doesn't necessarily imply wastefulness, unless you mean that you are wasting money? But that's a function of your earning potential, not only the item price. It's only wasteful if you end up with too many pieces. If you know your t-shirts last 2 years on average, and you need 12 of them, they getting a new one every 2 months is no more wasteful than any other purchasing pattern that keeps you stocked.
