Balenciaga's 'I Love Pets' collection is pitting dog lovers and cat lovers against one another, offering a playful capsule that's filled with winter essentials.
The age-old battle between dog people and cat people is finally coming to a head with this collection, which boasts motifs from one animal or the other. The shirts are printed with images of cats or dogs alongside text that reads "meow meow" or "woof woof" based on the animal the wearer selected. The shirts arrive in black, white and pink colorways, making for a subtle or bold statement piece. In addition to the shirts, the collection also arrives alongside necklaces and keychains that feature one of the selected furry friends.
