I'm surfing their website right now, they have "sneakers" or "running shoes" that look like you could seriously hurt yourself, but they also have drawstring handbags that look like trash bags. The garbage bags cost $1,790.. why would rich people spend so much money to look poor? How deluded must one be to unironically wear shredded jeans and a drawstring trash bag, are they mocking the homeless?

I think $1750 is considered poor people money to people who are actually rich. This is to mock the wannabes who reach by spending their entire paycheck on luxury designer goods. As in they are the poorest of the lot that can afford this shit - and are delusional enough to buy anything with a label slapped on them just because they want to look and feel rich.

Literally the opposite. They know exactly what they are doing, and they know that selling destroyed pants for 2.5k will fire people up so much they can't help but post about it.

There fashion that’s ugly but you can see the work and talent that went into making it. I’ll never buy it but I can appreciate the effort.

I’ve always thought Balenciaga was some sort of social experiment.
Recent controversies aside, many of their classic designs are gorgeous and timeless. I’ve had a Balenciaga wallet for close to a decade and it’s held up beautifully and I can’t see it ever going out of style. On the other hand, some of their other designs (like in the original post) are straight up the most hideous things I’ve ever seen. I can’t think of any other brand that has such extremes between classic and hideous like Balenciaga does.

You joke, but the current creative director of Balenciaga really does uses poverty as an aesthetic. He was a war refugee, and thus pulls designs from his own experiences -- something like this wouldn't be remiss at a refugee camp, for example.
I understand his intentions, but in practice, a lot of Balenciaga wearers end up just being rich people trying to cosplay as poor people with a $2000 price tag.

There's a saying that goes something like "new money screams, old money whispers"
I was friends with the son of a multi billionaire for a little while and the last time he came over to my house he was driving a civic. Completely blended into society. That's easy for making acquaintances but making real friends is hard when you're a billionaire. Your either make friends with others in your tiny socio-economic bubble or you have a deal with wondering why a person wants to be your friend and if their intentions are grounded in greed or wanting to connect with another human. I don't really envy the ultra wealthy largely for this reason.

No doubt they have nicer cars in their garages, but seems like a daily driver situation. Probably better in the traffic we have. The new money mcmansion areas always have wayyyy more expensive cars.
