MANILA, Philippines - Fabulous or fearsome? Gorgeous or gruesome? The answer, surely, is both. One thing’s certain: Le Pliage Madballs, Jeremy Scott’s latest limited edition of Longchamp’s iconic foldable travel bag, is set to start a style debate.
Drawing on his encyclopaedic knowledge of pop culture, the American designer took inspiration from Madballs, the bouncy rubber balls with horrendous faces that became a playground craze in the 1980s. Madballs sweaters were a standout at Jeremy Scott’s recent New York fashion show, and now the impish designer has had two of his favourite characters printed onto the canvas of Le Pliage. Will you dare to carry one?
The Longchamp Le Pliage Madballs limited edition by Jeremy Scott will be available in Rustan’s Makati, Shangri-La and Cebu by end of August. Better be quick: everyone’s going to be mad about Madballs!
