Fashion is known to be rather… eccentric at times, especially couture and runway fashion. However, designers sometimes just flat-out don’t make any sense even to the fashionistas of the world.
Balenciaga is a French fashion house known for their high prices, couture, and fame, but this new “double-shirt” idea might empty their pockets a bit.

People on Twitter aren’t buying into the idea of buying two shirts for the price one hefty $1,290. This is fad that not even Balenciaga could get away with. The internet was quick to laugh at the high-fashion store’s audacity.
When you can’t choose between two favorite shirts: Double Shirt.

One man even showed Balenciaga and the world how it’s done, but at a much cheaper price.

I just made my own Double Shirt and it didn't cost thousands of dollars! pic.twitter.com/8daWqAGy7C
Twitter also couldn’t help but pity the poor model who was forced to wear this fashion scam.

Twitter even called out the rest of Balenciaga’s collection for its bizarre tastes. (Yes, there’s even a “double-jacket”)
They got a jacket one too 😩 pic.twitter.com/y5ZdH9aFFi

All we can say is: With that price tag, we’ll just go to Goodwill thank you.
