When it comes to fashion, there are times when a layman is not able to comprehend a particular design or the thought process behind it. Now, we know designing clothes is an extremely tedious process – starting with idea generation, brainstorming, collecting data and raw material to the execution of the product. However, it is the final result that makes it or breaks it for a designer. Seems like luxury label Balenciaga’s latest ‘T-shirt Shirt’ has tickled the funny bones of people on the Internet and for most, it is incomprehensible. In other words, they can’t believe their eyes!
