One Vogue editor wore an Adam Sandler-inspired look paired with vintage white Gucci kitten heel sandals to attend Balenciaga’s first New York show. See the details of her bizarrely fantastic outfit:
But oh, what to wear to the first time the French fashion house has ever shown stateside? The daunting pressure!
I went through my whole closet to search for something. Year 2000 this; late ’90s that. Same old. I wear all of these things whether or not it is a fashion show, and not even my Tom Ford–era, Gucci python-print pants from the spring 2000 collection can ignite a fire within me. And I just knew that my fellow guests would show up in their most clompy-chic, fetish-y Balenciaga gear.
Weirdly, the answer for me was to take a man’s advice. The day before the show, I got dinner with my boyfriend, and long story short, I did not make it back to my own apartment as planned. I couldn’t wear my own clothes from the day before: a sheared-off, stained, white tank top and a pair of inappropriately loose, and also stained, Re/Done jeans. Instead, he recommended I wearclothes: a healthy rotation of mesh basketball shorts and a gargantuan polo.
I was a good sport and tried on his selections : a fresh, soft, fire engine red polo that hit my thighs and a pair of very long, royal blue, mesh basketball shorts by the labelthat hit my knees, which were inspired by Adam Sandler. This was obviously a hit. At least to him. “The colors!” he yelled. “The colors are great!” He had a point. My rendition of a potato sack was made even more bizarrely fantastic when I put on a pair of vintage, white, Gucci, kitten-heel sandals.
