McDonalds Sweden Promises To Release A Budget Version Of These $545 Balenciaga Shoes If They Get 103042 Likes On Their Hilarious Instagram Post
By Anna
The iconic French fashion house Balenciaga has earned itself a name in the industry for brave (and questionable?) fashion choices. You may take it or leave it, but new extravagant trends will never leave you opinionless.
Last fall, Balenciaga released a pair of red, square-toed leather mules for $545 that bore a striking resemblance to another icon from a slightly different world the McDonalds fries packet.
This is not the first time that a high-end fashion brand has released statement pieces which spark associations. They have previously launched a bag worth of $2,145 with a striking resemblance to IKEAs iconic Frakta tote bag which, in fact, costs thousands of times less only 99 cents. What a bargain!
Perhaps Balenciaga is deliberately trying to help all the poor fashionistas out there to fairly easily find the pricey high-fashion alternatives in everyday encounters.
