The fashion world has taken many forms. From haute couture all the way down to fast fashion.
At a certain moment in time, teenagers were pissing off their parents by wearing jeans with rips in them, or low waist joggers that have words written across the back.
But these trends have taken new forms, the ‘destroyed’ clothing trend is something Balenciaga has decided to capitalize off, but they’ve taken it a step further, by completely destroying apparel to narrate the story creative director Demna is communicating to the world.
Then we have Menelik Demissie, a name that won’t immediately ring a bell for most, but for Balenciaga’s youngest demographic, this individual is better known as beenslackin. A fashion influencer that pushes against the norm of clothing and decided to introduce the destroyed aesthetic to his own audience.
