(Dan Tri) – The Balenciaga brand continues to create waves of controversy with its special accessories.
Since its debut at Paris Fashion Week (France) in early March, Balenciaga’s latest collection has attracted a lot of attention.
The bracelet is called Gaffer Bangle, appearing in the 59th/68th outfit in the newly launched Fall Winter 2024 collection.
Basically, this item looks no different from a regular transparent tape, accented with the manufacturer’s logo.

Recently, the lifestyle and fashion site Highsnobiety posted a short video recording the process of wearing a Gaffer Bangle on your hand.
Some social network users said that the brand was very `thoughtful` when creating a luxury fashion product that looked like office supplies worth several tens of thousands of dong.
In addition to this accessory, fashionistas also see many other unique designs by creative director Demna Gvasalia.

At Balenciaga’s Fall/Winter 2024 runway, the air was filled with questions: `What is luxury? What is fashion and why does it continue to be relevant? Who am I doing this for? Is fashion enough?
These reflections were voiced by Demna through an audio recording, echoing throughout the performance area.
Demna’s latest idea for clothes shows that luxury is about creativity – something that has been lacking on fashion catwalks lately.

With his Fall/Winter 2024 show, Demna presented a kind of satire on consumerism.
The writer of Vogue France asks two questions: `Why do we have more than we need?`
Creative directors leave labels on designs to imply that the consumer has left the clothes in the closet.
The show gathered A-list stars sitting in the front row.

This is not the first time this brand has turned ordinary, everyday items into fashion products.
The product quickly attracted attention when the model walked through a snowstorm indoors and hugged the `garbage bag` tightly.
At that time, the cowhide `garbage bag`, which had a retail price of about 1,790 USD (44.2 million VND) when released, also became a controversial topic.
The brand also released a pair of sneakers worth $1,850 (more than 45.6 million VND) that were torn and dirty that same year, creating outrage.
