Balenciaga’s new trash bag dress sparks comparisons with dead Russian soldiers — video
A new dress by Spanish fashion designer Balenciaga is causing a stir on social media thanks to its uncanny resemblance to a sleek black plastic bag used to transport dead Russian soldiers.
Balenciaga shared a photo of this unique outfit on their Instagram on Dec. 16, with a price tag of around $6,500.
Reactions on social media were all over the
map, leading Balenciaga to shut down comments on the post.
This dress's standout design, giving a major trash bag look, grabbed the attention of many users.
Amid the Russian Federation's full-scale aggression against Ukraine, for a lot of Ukrainians, it brings up memories of the bags used to carry bodies of Russian invaders.
Considering the significant number of casualties Russians are facing in the war with Ukraine, many of the country’s soldiers came back home draped in black bags.
Talk about adding an unexpected twist to the
online buzz.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
