TO WEAR OR NOT TO WEAR? THAT IS THE QUESTION

How bizarre?
The weirdest fashion launches to date are just a click away...

Not that weโ€™re over Moschinoโ€™s Fall/Winter ’20 Baguette Clutch and Croissant Bag or Viktor and Rolfโ€™s Spring/Summer ’22 hunched and high-padded shoulders at Paris Couture Week but with originality and self-expression making a statement in the fashion industry, weird fashion staples are also becoming the new normal on the agenda. Trends in the fashion world are becoming moreโ€ฆCONFUSING, letโ€™s just say. After plastic clothes, eye jewellery and several trends that are being adopted by many people in the fashion industry, here are some of the new-weird launches of the season. Feast your eyes (or not)…

When the going gets weird, the weird shoelaces become your earrings!

While weโ€™re still trying to process the fact that Balenciaga released a โ€˜luxury trash bagโ€™ for $1790, Demna surprised us with another โ€˜not-so-usualโ€™ fashion item. The brand has just dropped a pair of black bow shoelace earrings for $261. Oh, and weโ€™re still not over the $1850 Balenciaga Paris Sneaker (you know, the one that looked like a shoe Aristotle would have worn?). So, whatโ€™s the deal Demna?

Sometimes, let’s pretend to be normal and buy a tank top for $1000.

Oh, the things that make us question the price-to-logo correlation. What is the right price for fashion? Our existence and more also involve Pradsโ€™s $1000 tank top issued as part of its Fall/Winter ’22 collection. The tank top is made from medium-lightweight cotton thatโ€™s soft to the touch and slightly dense but utterly bereft of the elasticity you may expect from a contemporary top. Shall we thank Prada for a tank that almost broke our bank accounts?!

Messenger pigeons are back. But whatโ€™s the message, fashion?

Jonathan Anderson invites you to conquer the world with a pigeon in hand. JW Andersonโ€™s latest release is a 3D printed clutch taking shape of a pigeon served in a grey colourway. It is made using a 3D printing machine which creates a true-to-size bird in pink and blue hues on the pigeon’s neck with real details added to its little feet beak and eyes. Order it now online for $890 and get it in November. ( Donโ€™t kill the messenger!)
