Ridiculiously Oversized Seven-Layer Parkas

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Balenciaga Coat Signifies Luxury & Experimentalism

— August 29, 2018 — Luxury
This Balenciaga coat debuted during the luxe label's presentation for Fall/Winter 2018 and it is definitely a highly interesting piece. Much like the company's chunky Triple S footwear silhouette, the parka has a bulky aesthetic that is largely experimental in its composition. The Balenciaga coat boasts seven separate layers that are "solidified with cuffed sleeves, two front patch pockets, a drawstring hood and a coordinating hem."

From fleece and flannel to a hoodie and a wind-proof shell, the strange fashion item is designed to be mindful of extremely cold temperatures. The Balenciaga coat retails for $8,125 USD which could be justified by the global status of the brand and especially if the seven layers can be worn separately.
