KUALA LUMPUR: Luxury fashion brands have been turning heads (and raising eyebrows) over the past few seasons with their occasional and (supposedly) ironic takes on unremarkable, everyday items.
Emblazoned with the lofty logos of Balenciaga, Moschino, Chanel and their gilded ilk, former fashion outcasts like the Ikea shopping bag and wooden boomerangs have been sashaying down the international runway – but with gigantic price tags dangling from them.
The venerable house of Calvin Klein appears to be the latest to jump onto the taste-straining fashion bandwagon, conjuring up its version of what every fashionista has been living too long without: dishwashing gloves.
Available at the luxury fashion portal SSENSE, the full-length gloves are rose pink and 100 per cent synthetic rubber. Although they look and feel EXACTLY like the standard, run-of-the-mill dishwashing gloves collecting bacteria next to your kitchen sink, the white Calvin Klein logotype on the cuffs makes ALL the difference.
For just US$390 (RM1,500), you too can look in-trend, on-point and ‘fierce’ while washing your wok or de-greasing your sambal-making pestle and mortar.
Head on to SSENSE now to get the glamourous gloves that’ll fit you… like a glove.
Remember – no glove, no love!
