Balenciaga's new earrings: shoe laces?

After Ambush’s signature cable ties, Bottega Veneta’s bracelets imitating a telephone cable, Jacob & Co’s line of clips, Raf Simons’ skeleton handcuffs and Balenciaga’s trash bag, here’s another Demna item that’s taking social media by storm.

After Balenciaga released items that replicated the look of a rubbish bag for €1,800 or an exact copy of Ikea bags for €1,700, now the most popular brand of the moment is back with another of its launches. This time, they present earrings that are literally two shoelaces for €195. At least the price is not so exorbitant.

Every day the fashion world explores new ways of expressing itself, turning the mundane and ordinary into desirable pieces. Even going for the “I’m against fashion” idea, even though they are very much in line with its decree. In keeping with this vibe is Balenciaga’s latest release, a bow made of black and white laces.
