The fashion world always amazes us with its weird and sometimes wacky designs. 

It seems that the fashion world can push the limits, place its elusive names on it, and somehow it becomes appealing. But like many things, fashion is subjective. 

So, we cannot judge people for their fashion choices. However, we also don't have to agree that an item looks good purely because it comes from a popular fashion house that usually produces knockout designs. 

We're not sure which is more 'out-of-this-world', Balenciaga's towel skirt or Louis Vuitton's fake leg boot that is retailing for $2,470 (R46,474). 

"The luxury French fashion house is renowned for its classic style, so it's unusual to see such a strange design hit the runway. It emulates the look of a bare leg sporting white LV socks and black pump heels and comes in two skin tones." (Yahoo)

Check out this short video of a fashion TikToker showcasing her new boots. She admits that she gets excited by "weird s%#t".
