Recently, Ken Kuang, a contributor to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) in the United States, posted a video on social media of Balenciaga's new 'Destroyed Model Jacket (top photo)' and stated, "The first batch of Balenciaga Destroyed model jackets sold out within 24 hours." The jacket barely maintains its hood shape, but the clothes appear torn here and there. Netizens who saw Balenciaga's mysterious new product criticized, saying, "If that condition is worth it, I'm already a billionaire," and "A $950 rag," criticizing it. Balenciaga has long insisted on 'high fashion' and launched bold products. In 2022, they sold a hoodie full of holes for £950 (about 1.6 million won). Balenciaga explained that this garment is characterized by its single pocket and the torn and hole details throughout the fabric, but consumers have said that the hoodie is like 'Bob the Builder' (a carpenter character from the BBC toddler animation) He mocked it, saying, "It's clothing." Among other clothes released this year was a hoodie designed in handwriting that looks like it was doodled with lipstick, and Balenciaga said this design was created "to evoke a heartfelt gesture of personally decorating a gift for someone special,,, such a sincere gesture is a dismissive gesture!! Netizens mocked the outfit, calling it "tacky," saying Balenciaga's claimed 'high fashion' is no different from the popular ZARA products. Some said, "This Tax more on those who can afford it," "Why sell trash?", "It seems like brands are mocking us," and "H&M is better than this." One vote for brands that seem to be playing with the masses!!!!!!
