The Bin Man Look
Over the past couple of months, a reversible parka from Balenciaga has been the subject of wonderment and amusement over its look and price. Excerpts from a report in The Sun:
A luxury fashion house is flogging a high-vis binman-style jacket for £2,890 a pop. The reversible bright yellow hooded workwear coat looks the spit of those worn by rubbish collectors. It comes with a council-type logo on the front and the letters BLNCG, for makers Balenciaga, on the back. The jacket is part of the Autumn/Winter 2021 collection from the Spanish brand — a favourite with Premiership footballers and Wags. Bog-standard hi-vis vests and jackets — ideal for dumping rubbish — can be had £1.99.
