Same designer, ok, but not really creative...

A more dated version of the Balenciaga pantashoes!

Do they even sell this crap? LOL

I think they just put it on their website to generate memes.

Next step in trolling would be Demna launching a collection of DIY kits, to mimic Ikea furniture...

It took me awhile to remember the name of the shoe designers who made similar shoes in the 1960s, they were Herbert and Beth Levine! Their "stocking boots":

DIY couture with a box containing 30 black garbage bags.

This is probably closer to possible than you think. For their FW'23 show, the show invitation was a pattern for a jacket.

Reddit

For the following show, SS'24, the soundtrack included Isabelle Huppert reading out instructions for tailoring a jacket.


I wouldn't be surprised if they end up releasing DIY kits to democratise the brand.

I wouldn't be surprised if they end up releasing DIY kits to democratise cheapen even more the brand.

Fixed!!

 

[blueorchid]

Oh, the inevitable-DIY kits would also be copying Paco Rabanne (he couldn't have foreseen THIS??).

Any designer that put out patterns rn would be so goated. With everyone trying their hardest to larp with exclusivity and rarefication, high volume sales and consumption, putting in literally as minimal effort as possible to grow the bubble to explosion, someone coming along with the skill and transparency to just be like f*ck you here is what I do and you can too, from a cultural and creative standpoint that would blow anyone out of the water.

I've seen old Vogue pattern kits of designer looks, I remember one was Givenchy by McQueen. They're still floating around on ebay and similar places. They're kinda expensive though.
