Listen, whoever said Crocs were just a fad was so wrong because Balenciaga has wholeheartedly embraced the rubber shoe, and has even turned it into a boot. Yes, you read that right.

Fashion Is Dead, Long Live MerchTainment™
Last night, I went to an event that didn’t have a name. It was a “fashion show,” a “presentation,” or often just an “event.” The official invite said “Summer 22 Red Carpet,” but the majority of those in attendance dubbed it “The Balenciaga Thing.” When I arrived, there was a red carpet encampment that glowed […]

Balenciaga has won fashion week. Seriously. Nothing quite says making a statement like enlisting the cast of The Simpsons to model part of your collection, and that’s what the French luxury house did to take the win this season.

The shades, which made many a headline when they initially debuted in 2019, contain a color-changing LED light system.
