The fashion runways are no stranger when it comes to quirky & to some, questionable styles & items displayed. After all, fashion is to many considered as an art & beauty is in the eyes of beholder.
We usually don’t cover news that are not released here in Malaysia, but Balenciaga in recent times have been getting quite a lot of attention with their questionable choice of clothing design or items displayed on their runway shows it’s quite impossible not to strain our necks and see what’s happening on the other side; two of them notably are the $2000 mock-up IKEA Bag & the platform dad slip-ons Crocs.
Just when we thought the trolling has stopped, we are presented with the Balenciaga T-shirt-shirt.
The latest addition to Balenciaga’s ‘unique’ design proposition, the Balenciaga T-Shirt-Shirt is priced at $1290. Yep, you got that right. That amounts to about..
Yes we know, it’s a huge amount of money. That might seem like a lot but remember you’re getting a T-shirt and a shirt; it’s basically buy one get one free. As the name suggests, the piece, which is part of the luxury’s fashion house’s Fall 18′ collection, is a T-shirt with a shirt draped on top of it.
The listing attracted huge attention on social media, especially after Balenciaga posted a photo of a model in the T-shirt shirt.
Unfortunately, it seems like the public is not taking this new “style” well & a storm of memes & tweets mocking the luxury brand has taken over the internet. Check the chatter surrounding the piece…
Not really feeling the price tag but feeling the style? No worries. We’ve got pocket friendly options!
What do you guys think? Fashion or nah? But we here at MASSES MY are saying, try harder next time Balenciaga.
