Fashion is continuously evolving – these days in the most bizarre direction. Designers have gone from making top-of-the-range garments to designing pieces that the average Joe just cannot fathom wearing.
Balenciaga is one of the world-renowned luxury brands that keep shocking people with their bizarrely unique fashion pieces, which are becoming more out of this world by the day.
Their latest contribution to the fashion world is the towel skirt – a $950 (R16k) skirt inspired by an actual towel.

Balenciaga is definitely doing everything to stay unique. Last year, their trash bag-inspired handbags shocked many — and this is because the bags literally looked like trash bags.
The luxury clothing brand just unveiled its latest contribution to the fashion world, and it really is something else.
The towel skirt is a skirt which looks no different to a normal bathroom towel and is even designed to look the way it does when one wraps a towel around their waist after a bath or a dip in the pool.
The skirt is already on their website and has been marketed as a unisex item. It is made with beige Terry cotton.
According to the site, the fashion piece is from Look 30 of Balenciaga’s Spring 24 Collection.

Last year, Balenciaga’s creative director, Demna Gvasalia, confirmed that the team want to leave people questioning fashion these days.
Speaking to Women’s Wear Daily, she explained that they love a good fashion scandal.
“Who doesn’t love a fashion scandal?” she asked in response to the backlash sparked by the trash bag inspired handbag.
