Balenciaga's Mushroom Madness
Using the vegetative body of a mushroom to create a one-of-a-kind material, this Maxi Hooded Wrap Coat by Balenciaga marks the first time Ephea has been used in fashion at this scale.
As a sustainable option to leathers and synthetics in order to reduce the brand’s carbon footprint, this all-black coat is cut oversized to accentuate exaggerated proportions. The finish on this material also resembles that of a hide-based material and features a furry inside and an oversized hood to match.
Thoughts? PAUSE or Skip? This coat will be available at the end of October in selected Balenciaga stores in Beijing, Beverly Hills, London, Milan, New York City, Paris, Shanghai, Tokyo and Toronto.
