The new age of anti-fashion

Balenciaga’s Paris show was held in a post-apocalyptic pit of mud where models stomped and stooped their way through a swamp, their decadent SS23 garments trailing behind them on the dirty floor. The JW Anderson catwalk saw models draped in purposefully crinkled dresses adorned with huge, novelty computer keys (ctrl+alt+delete, anyone?), walking the runway in clunky Crocs-cum-wellies. And to top it off, one of the most popular fashion week TikToks was from the Fecal Matter brand showcasing its heels (worn by a guest on the f’row) which are made to look like pointy human flesh.
