LOOK 33 FROM 53RD COLLECTION​

One Shoulder Gown in multicolor mix of finished garments is from Balenciaga's 53rd Couture Collection. It is made in France.

This exceptional dress with its one shoulder detail, along with the long back train, elevates it to the status of an evening gown.
The concept behind this exceptional dress involves the assembly and layering of different finished garments:
This unique piece is composed of 7 garments: sweater, shirt, sporty t shirt, tank top, soccer shorts, tracksuit shorts and jeans.
The manufacturing process begins with the complete creation of each individual item. Finally, all the pieces are cut and assembled following a precise pattern to achieve the desired look.
This intricate making process is very time consuming, requiring 200 hours of meticulous work and the expertise of many skilled artisans.
The mix of colors and garments illuminates the dress and accentuates its originality.

Girl, buy a Birkin.
 
Other than those archive piece he reissued, this is probably the best piece of the collection due to the application of the streetwear stuff on the classic Balanciaga silhouette.
 
Birkin is only nice when the owner has only one "it" bag they can afford and they go for a birkin. And use it to death until the leather gets soft and starts hugging the things inside.

If they start collecting it for "investment" and only use it for special occasions, it becomes cringe. And it definitely will wear them.

This 100%. I only accept Birkins when they look beaten up. There is nothing more cringe for me than people buying them as investment pieces and fearing for their lives that a scratch might appear. Also can you really afford it if you are afraid to use it?
 
I don’t think Jane Birkin necessarily looked classy with her bag. She just used that bag for the function. The fact that it became a sign of wealth or a coveted bag was out of hand a bit for her. She used it since the 80’s and it only became really a thing in the 90’s.

I hate the idea of treating a bag like a baby as I like to use things I buy.

Anybody whose birkin hold it shape is suspect to me.

There is something so clean and commendable of someone taking care of their expensive bags. It gives off clean girl.
 
I think the message that Jane was sending with her Birkin is brave and commendable, which is very rare in these days and Kim would never. I always love her for bringing up that social consciousness as a cultural icon!

There’s a difference between taking care of your bags and baby them. It’s important to take care of your stuff all together: clothes, bags, shoes but you have also to use it for what it is.
I carry my « precious » belongings in my bag. I don’t want my bag to be on top of that my precious belonging.

But something needs to also be said about the price of those items that kind of changes the perception and the way people uses them.

And it’s one of the reason why I’ve never been interested in buying a Birkin, Kelly or Constance and why lately I carry more my 2.55 than my classic Chanel.
When I’m around with my Paris Bombay, my Victoria or my Plume, I use them as regular bags. When you have a Birkin, a Kelly…etc. And even more when it’s exotic skin, you have to be extra cautious. It’s too much.
 
with everyone just keeping their exotics and special made hermes bags in their closet, the bubble will explode as hermes isn't stopping making them and the resale value will probably catch up to in store prices.

i will/do commend people who use their exotics as their everyday wear and tear bag. that for me is luxury and being able to afford using it the way it was intended to be used.
 
Miu Miu customers seized a runway moment and chose a newish turned-around brand as a new status symbol. They needed something exclusive, very expensive, but still recognizable to differentiate themselves from the other crowds.
It could have been another brand if those had a higher runway moment, but in the case of Miu Miu it's just two consecutive "good" shows, it was enough to be in the fashion conversation, and let's be honest, pricing is an important factors here, those customers would not go to Courrèges because it is not expensive enough.
