Ain't no way anybody thinks this looks good. They just get cheap stuff from China that purposefully looks horrible and sell it to rich assholes at ridiculous prices.
DISCLAIMER : I fully support scamming rich people as long as the workers get the profit. These assholes just pocket it for themselves.
Balenciaga, just like the rest of the high-fashion brand, has a Nazi connection.
Well this didn't surprise me
Workers never get the profit
This is pretty close to how I dressed as a teenager around 1999
Tell us stories of centuries past, oh sublime one. Do you come with a warning from the past?
jk i was there
Tekken 4 ass clothes
Looks like an NPC from a PS1 game
He gives you a joke sidequest which ends with him dying a painful death
"damn dude it would be so sick if my clothes had tribal tattoos"
- every guy in zumiez circa 1996
Actually jesse pinkman
Kind of surprised that Jesse and Walter didn't drip out with Balenciaga and Dior after earning a ton of money.
Walter dripped out his son with a dodge charger and Skrillex
Fuck Balenciaga, from their Nazi ties to genuinely terrible garment quality.
I always advocate for buying better quality if you can afford it (preferably secondhand), but that doesn't mean luxury. Luxury fashion is horribly unethical, similar to fast-fashion.
Buy reps. There are multiple rep sellers that just sell the items made in the same factory as the real products.
Any recs for rep reps resellers my rep
r/fashionreps, r/qualityreps
Prepare to be bombarded by 16 year olds asking about the same nike shoes for 50 posts in a row
Lol I thought Balenciaga only came into existence in the early 2000s
1919, fuck em
this is the beanie guy from jujutsu kaisen. i swear i'm not crazy. i forgot his name
I don’t understand “ironic” high fashion at all. The companies are usually owned by conglomerates and the designers and executives are very rich and/or socialites. No one is benefitting from these scams except other rich people
...i've had security called on me multiple occasions as the 'homeless guy' where i guess homeless folks aren't welcomed?..
Literally looks like any zoomer fit honestly
Some stuff in that movie didn't age well, like the 
cameo and the joke about cell phones getting smaller, but this is pretty much timeless. Surprisingly based plot about killing the prime minister of Micronesia because he wants workers' rights, too.
2000's core
jesse pinkman lookin ass
I'm sure the stupid poors will appreciate us dressing like them, just tell them it's FASHIONABLE 
Oh, 15 year old me would have loved this.
...not for those prices!..
This is a pretty decent fit tbh, you're just getting old and out of touch OP, sorry 😔
Old and out of touch is that avi color scheme love
It's giving washed, it's giving jive
How much does that outfit cost? ~$3,000?

Ninja edit
Or is my first estimate way too low? ~$5,000?
does he just slam into walls or what? what the fuck is that, a blindfold or a hat
Got that Trafalgar Law fit
i think this is dope
anyone else remembers Balenciaga's Paedophile connection? I feel like i'm going insane
There was a Balenciaga ad that had some paper with text visible. The text was from the SCOTUS ruling that said virtual CP was not CP under the law.They sued the producer of the ad, claiming it was them that provided the prop.
Weird as hell, but I'm not sure it means anything.
There was no connection, it was some shit thrown to the wall to see it anything stick and nothing did.
i mean it's the normal connection that every industry that employs young attractive people in a performance capacity has, which is that they are offered life changing sums of cash and gigs in exchange for sexual favors
Well yes but specifically, this particular controversy was about using some AI/fake child in an advertisement featuring sexualized clothes
Never mind. It was a real child.
So, for everyone being aware of the pictures:

I don't think the kids are being sexualized, and how I read it, it looks more like a critique of the use of ever younger models on the fashion industry.
oh shit lmao was that it? i'll be honest if this makes you mad you are a rightist like it would not take much to convince you that we need to end pride parades and drag queen story hour.
For real, like compare it with this:

And tell me who is the one sexualizing little kids?
Blud cant see shit
it's 2024, do you want to
