Balenciaga has once again stirred global attention with the launch of its latest fashion item that sparked a wave of mixed reactions. The French luxury house made headlines after releasing a heavily torn jacket — priced at a staggering Rp16 million — which astonishingly sold out within just 24 hours.

The controversial jacket, characterized by its distressed and ripped appearance, has divided public opinion. While many criticized the design as resembling “damaged clothing,” fashion enthusiasts and collectors rushed to secure the limited-edition piece.

Since Demna Gvasalia took over as creative director in 2015, Balenciaga has been known for pushing creative boundaries through bold, experimental designs that often spark controversy. Despite the frequent debates, the brand’s avant-garde approach — blending streetwear rebellion with luxury craftsmanship — continues to captivate the global fashion scene.
