• 15 Spanish designers to keep an eye on the sales

Art, provocation or all together, depending on who defines it.

A

Ralph Lauren

seems to love being him in the eye of the hurricane -better always talk about you, it

seems think- because it is not the first time the designer raises controversy.

On this occasion, he has set fire to

social networks

with one of his latest designs, a jumpsuit, the star garment at the moment in street style thanks to the work and grace of the

catwalks

and brands such as

Dior

and

Stella McCartney.

In a twist on the concept of glamor, the American designer has made his own viral: a

work suit

with a worn appearance and even paint stains that was put on sale months ago for the not inconsiderable figure of 680 euros and that now In the sales period and with a 30% discount, it costs "only" 483.

A garment, and a price, that have set fire to

Twitter

, where this new concept of luxury has not sat very well, nor are fashion games shared: "Get your Ralph Lauren currela jumpsuit for almost 500 bucks, it's dirty and has up to paint remains. Feel like a worker, live the experience ", writes @Nega_Maiz from this social network;

"My father has been wearing Ralph Lauren for 45 years and I find out now," adds @gesuzzo;

"Sewing a Ralph Lauren tag on my dad's diver and uploading it to Wallapop for 500 euros," says @ SergioCA_92.

And although not everything has been zascas for the designer - "

Ralph Lauren

has before to do with

Grayson Perry, Briony Marshall, Pozo Blanco or Neo Rauch

than with Pepe Gotera and Otilio. There is no worker ethic there, only cultural aesthetics", twitteros defend by referring to the plastic artists who also worked with overalls during their creative processes, the truth is that most do not understand the concept of luxury in this garment.

Ralph Lauren

has not been the only one to raise the controversy with this type of cultural references in his designs.

In this sense,

Gucci

takes the cake with three incendiary pieces: trousers with false grass stains on the knees that were also around 700 euros, its famous torn and racing socks (140 euros) and the children's dress for men that reaches the 1,900 euros.

Criticisms on social networks that not even

Balenciaga escapes

, this time for its shopper bag (1,695 euros) inspired by the famous blue

Ikea

bag

.

It is the price to turn urban and working class culture into luxury.
