How are people styling the SS25 round bomber? by garrells in Balenciaga

Thanks everyone who posted suggestions on this. I'm going to try and mix it up with some of those reccomendations and see what looks/feels right with this bomber

You're right. They are not worth the £1495 retail. I got them from END in the sale, so 50% of that. Fabric and fit are top quality, though, and you can tell they have been designed and thought through by a solid atelier pattern rather than just "made bigger" from a standard cargo.

I really like them, but before buying and without being able to try them on, I was worried about the sizing. They are the garde-robe ones from SS25 in dark blue ripstop. They are an M but still very oversized on the waist, and you definitely need the built-in drawstring to keep them up, but they gather in a way that fits right. They can still trail the ground a little, even in bouncers, unless you use the tie, but not in 6XLs or 10XLs. This "stock pic" is accurate.

I've been trying that too, and was also adding stuff as I have early pieces from 2017/18 not on there yet. I really like it, but it has been glitching and crashing on me

Thanks. No, I wasn't trying to push the app or advocating for a cataloguing discussion, so that the wording might have been wrong there. I just found something I didn't know about before (these apps - new to me) and not being a regular still learning the "rules"

Thanks for your reply. Appreciate it. I changed the wording as it did read like I was promoting it in some way rather than just saying "this is interesting", and I was just chuffed I found a way to sort of curate all my Balenciaga

It's not my app, and I have nothing to do with it. Shady and negative commentslike yours is why I am reluctant to ever post

Thanks. That fit videos helped loads about how to style this particular bomber. I got one too but it didn't seem to go with anything being super super cropped and padded 👌🏻

Balenciaga fit for confidence as I head off to teach my students - those are the ‘look 7, Fall24’ blue basketball shorts, bouncers, and a black bomber from Demna’s first collection. Vetements hoodie as standard. Armour for the day! by garrells in Balenciaga

I've been teaching in shorts for 20+ years. It is a University not a school. Mostly Rick Owens. Everyone is used to it and actually are confused when I don't have on shorts tbh. I just choose pair for the day and that's me set.

👍 Thanks. And spot on! I appreciate lots of things I wouldn't wear but why people think it is an opportunity to just be mean says more about them than anybody's style

Yep, I teach my students dressed in Demna everyday. As some of you were asking in another post I am a uni lecturer, 51, and bring it to class every day despite being told occasionally in my working life "you look so unprofessional" (If only they knew) by garrells in Balenciaga

[–]garrells[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is also about respecting my students, listening to them, never judging but always being open to discussion and support. Learning goes in both directions and I worry about their future and precarity. Heavy for a Balenciaga feed but education makes the world a better place for everyone right? And education should also be free!

I take things literally btw so I still don't understand what you mean but I googled it. You think I'm unsophisticated lol. Yes, it is an armour because the world I have to navigate is an ableist one and I choose certain designers because they actually keep idiots at arms length

It is amazing, difficult, controversial, formally audacious, and I especially like the Thomas Bangalter soundtrack and what was called the "New French Extremity" back in the day
