But seriously, when you’re talking Balenciaga, you’re kinda talking about precision, *sort of*. I mean, look, let’s be honest, some of their stuff is deliberately, hilariously, *aggressively* oversized and, well, *not* exactly what you’d call ‘flattering’. But that’s kinda the point, innit? It’s a statement.
The Farfetch blurb talks about “linhas descomplicadas” (uncomplicated lines) and “estilo sofisticado” (sophisticated style). Now, that’s a marketing spiel right there, but there *is* truth to it. Even when they’re making something that looks like it was fished out of a dumpster (I’m lookin’ at you, distressed sneakers), there’s a certain… *intention* behind it. Like, they’ve meticulously calculated *exactly* how many rips and tears to add to make it look “effortlessly” ragged. LOL.
And then you get into the Couture stuff. That’s where the “high precision” REALLY comes in, I think. We’re talking about handcrafted, bespoke garments that are basically wearable art. Someone on Reddit nailed it – Couture is the highest level of garment construction. It’s about more than just throwing some fabric together; it’s about the fit, the drape, the construction, the whole shebang. It’s like, ridiculously expensive, but you’re paying for the artistry, the skill, and the exclusivity.
I saw something about Balenciaga collaborating with Scholl and Lamborghini… Scholl?! Like, the foot care company? That’s kinda wild, right? It just shows how they can take anything, *anything*, and make it… well, “Balenciaga.” It’s a brand that thrives on the unexpected, the controversial, the stuff that makes you go, “Wait, what?”.
