Fashion folk are odd.
You see them walking down the Strand during London Fashion Week looking like something Ru Paul threw up, in outfits that will have cost more than your monthly rent.
They don’t give a crap how ludicrous they look – if it’s in, it’s in.
And here’s further proof: Balenciaga’s £600 platform Crocs have already sold out.
When the label sent them down the catwalk back in October, most of us presumed that they’d be a flash in the fashion pan. But no, they haven’t even formally been released and Barney’s has already flogged every pair.
They went on pre-sale on the store’s website on 1 February and within a matter of hours, every pair had been sold.
I mean, who wouldn’t want a pair of such practical, subtle shoes?
So unique, so stylish
@BALENCIAGA @Crocs I'm sorry, those are the ugliest shoes I've seen so far… proves a point, you can slap a design… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…

Just what we’ve all been waiting for
@BALENCIAGA @Crocs people also eat laundry soap. just because something exsists doesn't mean it's a good idea.

Particularly when they’re such a bargain
@BALENCIAGA @Crocs Burn Them All. Balenciaga is Cancelled.

Can’t wait for the moment when every high street starts recreating these and we end up in a never-ending circle of sartorial misery.
Over to you, Primark.
