Sneakers, whether or not it has been worn, are not objects that you want to be close to your face, much less taste it or take a smoke out of it, but for a rather wacky project, men fashion blog Dandy Dairy decided that it is a good idea to retrofit a bong into a Balenciaga Triple S Sneaker to result in the world’s first Balenciaga Triple S Bong. Yes, really. It happened and below is the video of one Uncle Werner (of Dandy Dairy) shows you how it is done. Continue reading Someone Turned A Balenciaga Triple S Into A Functional Bong.

Can’t Get Enough Of Weird Fashion? Balenciaga T-Shirt Shirt Is Here To Help
Just when we thought Balenciaga is done with weird fashion, we saw this, this t-shirt from the Spanish fashion house. Actually, we should really refer it to as shirts because, as you can see, it is a t-shirt that has a checkered long sleeves stuck to the front. Hence, the name T-Shirt Shirt (not a typo). Yup. The world of high fashion is clearly in the forbidden zone somewhere deep inside the City of a Thousand Planets. Let me reiterate: this is two men’s top-in-one. Balenciaga described it as “striped short sleeves and long sleeves shirts with two wearing options.” Continue reading Can’t Get Enough Of Weird Fashion? Balenciaga T-Shirt Shirt Is Here To Help
Balenciaga Elevates Crocs To High Fashion By Adding Platform To Them
Just when we thought putting precious rocks on Crocs was outrageous, Balenciaga shows us that Christopher Kane’s idea might be way too tame. The Parisian fashion label has, yet again, outdone itself in loud fashion and this time, it has turned out platform version of the worst thing to happen to footwear, Crocs. Yes. Believe it. Crocs on wedge is a thing. Honestly, I don’t know what to make of it. Rightly I shouldn’t because, I am no lady. Perhaps, ladies in the house would like to comment below? Anyways, by giving Crocs platform or wedge, Balenciaga essentially branded the once-unisex footwear as a single-sex fashion item.

Balenciaga Makes Dirty A Fashion With Balenciaga Triple S Sneakers
You know what? Balenciaga has quickly become the designer-label-we-love-feature because, in recent years, its products have, in recent years, never failed to leave us bewildered. From its iteration of the cheap Chinese travel bag to the blatant copy of Ikea’s Frakta bag to car mat skirt, we had some laughs. The brand shows no sign of stopping either, now joining Gucci in turning up dirty sneakers as a fashion statement. Sorry. We shouldn’t insult it by saying it is ‘dirty’ (though the truth is, it is); it should be called ‘distressed’. Our bad.

Balenciaga Lends Lambskin To Cheap Plastic Shopping Bag. Yes, Again.
Ah… we finally figured out what Balenciaga is up to this year. This year, it is all about “inspired-by” theme. Instead of dreaming up fashion pieces from the ground up, the Parisian fashion label must have thought turning everyday items into upmarket versions is a fun thing to do. It probably is because I must admit Balenciaga’s recent products did put a smile on my face, starting with turning cheap, nylon red-white-blue bag and Ikea Frakta bag into a luxury versions, and more recently, a cat mat skirt. Today, we hear that shopping bags are also in order too. Continue reading Balenciaga Lends Lambskin To Cheap Plastic Shopping Bag. Yes, Again.
Balenciaga Did It Again. This Time, It has A Car Mat Skirt. Yes. That Car Mat.
When it comes to fashion, sci-fi movies often depict them as one) uniformed look (such as in the The Island), or two, super avant-garde (like in The Fifth Element). TBH, I don’t know what fashion holds for us in the future, but then we stumbled upon Balenciaga latest Fall 2017 collection and we went like, ah… the future of fashion is most definitely avant-garde. You know? That kind of design that’s loud, incoherently coordinated, mostly asymmetrical and sometimes, it appears that the wearer had a rubber car mat wrapped around her waist. Continue reading Balenciaga Did It Again. This Time, It has A Car Mat Skirt. Yes. That Car Mat.
Ikea Responded To Balenciaga’s $2,145 Frakta Tote-lookalike, Hilarity Ensues
Usually, when we talk about knock-off, the non-original product (or sometime, idea) is of something poorly made and cheaply priced, but that’s not what happen in the case of Balenciaga’s $2,145 Arena Extra-Large Shopper Tote Bag. So, you must asking: “who knock-off Balenciaga?” Well, the thing is, Balenciaga’s Arena appears to be the knock-off in this instant and it is kind of funny, because it looks way too similar to Ikea’s iconic Frakta tote bag (not the redesigned one though). Yes. You heard that right. Balenciaga’s luxury example looks like the trusty, big blue bag that you use to shop around in Ikea which you can also bring home for mere 99 cents.

Balenciaga’s Interpretation Of Iconic Red-White-Blue Bag Cost A Cool $2,000
You know those cheaply made (and cheap) red-white-blue nylon carrying bags commonly used in Asia, particularly in Hong Kong and China? Those bags are really, really cheap. At least one airport that we know of has these bags stashed, ready for checking passengers who have overweight or oversized baggages to repack into. Seriously, I have personally used that before and I am not even kidding. They are totally delicate and absolutely cannot take any beating. While we may view it as cheap, this iconic carrier is actually the design inspiration behind France-headquartered European fashion house, Balenciaga’s Cabas shopper, as dreamed up by creative director, Georgia-born fashion designer Demna Gvasalia. I do not know what to make of this, really. Continue reading Balenciaga’s Interpretation Of Iconic Red-White-Blue Bag Cost A Cool $2,000
