At Balenciaga Sloane Peterson Grows Up, Kinda

Sloane Peterson is an 80s babe. No doubt about it. She's got beautiful hair and was a Phoebe Cates-esque brunette beauty that balanced the goofy boyish charms of her costar characters, Ferris and Cameron. But one thing for sure has always been a little suspect: her outfits. WTF: Shorts with a too-thin western belt, with a white leather fringe jacket, with boots. It worked for her character I guess because it gave off a vibe that she was just too cool to give a fuck about what was considered cool in high school — plus she was dating Ferris Bueller, who was the most popular charming kid to ever wear a cheetah knit vest — but having said this, why would Nicolas Ghesquiere think this is a good enough reference for Louis Vuitton Spring 2017?

I swear it's the popularity and effect of the strange costumey Vetements vibe that is so goddamn popular right now creeping it's way into what usually is a really solid fashion display of outfits. I just don't get it.
