In its over 100 years as a company, Spanish fashion house Balenciaga neen known to be on the cutting edge of fashion – pushing its boundaries. Well Media Take Out has learned that the designer may have pushed fashion OVER THE EDGE with its latest designs.
And Balanciaga’s most recent release has the internet questioning whether the brand is conducting a social experiment, or simply trolling the masses.
Media Take Out confirmed that the famed brand has begun selling $1,790 “trash pouches” that resemble the plastic bags you put in your garbage bin. The product comes in three different colours – black with a black string, blue with a black string, or white with a red string – and has already been raising plenty of eyebrows online.
When asked about the controversial product, designer Demna Gvasalia reportedly told the media, “I couldn’t miss an opportunity to make the most expensive trash bag in the world, because who doesn’t love a fashion scandal?”
Over on Twitter, plenty of debates have been taking place about the trash pouch. Of course, there are critics writing things like, “Luxury ‘fashion’ is legal theft. High fashion is a joke at this point. Balenciaga made a ‘trash bag’ pouch for $1,790. And on top of shit like that, a lot of you fashion n*ggas just simply can’t dress.”
Black Twitter is in shambles over the trash bag purse.
