6 luxury fashion looks inspired by everyday objects
Balenciaga aren’t the only ones revamping the Ikea effect. Check out these looks from Celine, Loewe, Vetements, Moschino and Anya Hindmarch
Whether everybody agrees on imitation being the sincerest form of flattery is yet to be confirmed. Ikea certainly took a tongue-in-cheek response to Balenciaga’s US$2,145 version of its 99-cent plastic blue shopping bag with a print ad and social media campaigns.
Take a look at how fashion has been elevating mundane, everyday objects throughout the years.
Balenciaga’s creative director Demna Gvasalia seems to be particularly drawn to the subject matter when it comes to accessories. Apart from the blue shopping bag, he’s also reinterpreted traditional duvet storage bags and couch cushions in recent collections.
The blue-white-red bazaar bags have inspired a series of fashion designers. One of our fondest memories was from the Celine autumn-winter 2013 ready-to-wear collection in which the print was reinterpreted in a few jackets and dress suits.
The iconic look got into spotlight again when K-drama idol Gianna Jun wore it on set of the hit show My Love from the Stars.
