Balenciaga Stirs Controversy with $925 Towel Skirt

Designer Demna Gvasalia Continues Provocative Approach Despite Earlier Pledge to Focus on Quality

Balenciaga has released a $925 terry cloth towel skirt as part of its Spring 2024 collection, causing a stir in the fashion world.
The skirt is the latest in a series of provocative designs by Balenciaga's designer, Demna Gvasalia, known for creating luxury items with a twist of irony.
Earlier this year, Gvasalia stated he would return to the roots of fashion and Balenciaga, focusing on quality clothes rather than creating buzz.
The towel skirt follows controversial items such as the $1,850 'destroyed' sneakers and the $1,800 'trash pouch' handbag.
Despite criticism and controversy, Balenciaga's provocative items, including the towel skirt, are available for pre-order on the brand's website.
