Yeah......

I saw this in the Daily Telegraph. It is indeed absurd both in design and price. Some people have way more money than sense.

Did someone actually buy one?

It's balenciaga - I'm sure some did. I still don't know how that company is still in business, especially after that scandal this year.

The Guardian also has an opinion: https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/202 ... hion-trend.

You have to wonder who the target market for this item is supposed to be. It almost seems like a joke or some kind of ploy to get brand attention by any means, even if it's negative.

It's nonsense marketing ideas like this that discredit mens fashion freedom. By making mens fashion rediculous, men are portrayed as stupid and rediculous. The idea of men wearing anything other than what's left of their meagre wardrobe is thereby crushed.

Yep - that is more or less the most logical outcome. Still, I wonder what my coworkers think when they see articles on stuff like this.

It will take more than the towel skirt to mess things up for you with your co-workers. Maybe bring it up?

No - not so much that it will mess things up or them to think I’m weird - just that - well I figure now anytime a celebrity or fashion retailer makes news with a skirts for men article, if my coworkers reflect on it and say, “oh, that’s what coder does or is championing”. And the same goes for any of us here.
