From Safety Pins To Clutches: Luxury Fashion’s Most Talked-About Creations Of The Year

Luxury fashion is known for pushing boundaries, but this year, several high-end designs sparked as much mockery as admiration. From unconventional silhouettes to everyday objects turned into luxury statements, these creations dominated social media, not just for their looks, but also for their eye-watering prices. What stood out most was that despite the backlash, many of these pieces still found buyers.

Coperni’s One-Legged Jeans

French luxury label Coperni grabbed attention in March 2025 with its one-legged jeans. Priced at ₹39,600, the design left many confused and amused online, with critics calling it “the dumbest thing ever.” Yet, the bold concept struck a chord with fashion insiders and trend-watchers, turning it into a surprising hit.

Louis Vuitton’s Auto Bag

Louis Vuitton’s Men’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection featured a handbag shaped like an autorickshaw, priced at a staggering ₹35 lakh. Inspired by indigenous craftsmanship and street culture, the piece triggered a flood of reactions online. Many joked that the same amount could buy a real auto in India — one that could actually be driven and earn money. 

Prada’s Crochet Safety Pin Brooch

In November 2025, Prada drew attention for selling a crochet-wrapped safety pin brooch for ₹69,000. The oversized metal pin, decorated with colourful threads and a small Prada charm, quickly became meme material. The piece highlighted how everyday objects continue to find their way into luxury fashion, often dividing opinion.

Moschino’s Ink-Leak Pocket Shirt

Moschino Couture took irony a step further with a men’s shirt designed to look as though ink had leaked from the pocket. Priced at ₹80,000, the shirt invited ridicule online, with one user joking that their school pen had ruined shirts more convincingly for free.

Loewe’s Tomato Clutch

Loewe’s tomato-shaped clutch, launched in June 2025 as part of its Paula’s Ibiza collection, was quickly labelled one of the season’s most bizarre accessories. Crafted from moulded metal with a gold leaf detail, the clutch was priced at ₹3.5 lakh. While many questioned the price, the bag became one of the most discussed fashion pieces of the year.
