Condom gloves had dominated Paris Fashion Week just when you thought you’d seen it all.Although they may not have stolen the show, they have undoubtedly generated some headlines.
On Wednesday, models for the aquatic brand Botter strolled down the runway with their hands immobilized as a preventative measure. They were also water-filled.Condoms were indeed worn like water-filled gloves. They were prophylactic aquariums, as Vogue called them.
Rushemy Botter, a designer, and Lisi Herrebrugh created them with the intention of bringing “water to the runway.”

“Our initial thought was to work with nature rather than another fashion business. Every season, we’ve made an effort to conduct a more thorough study on this, according to Botter.According to France 24, there were “several trials” in the glove-making process.
To spread awareness about the oceans, the gloves are designed to show off the models’ swimming skills.
It has a strange, romantic mermaid sense about it, almost, Botter added.Additionally, the kelp-based fabric was utilized by Botter and Herrebrugh to create a pair of tube gowns.
Herrebrugh hinted that the Fall 2023 collection would include additional kelp-like materials by saying, “It’s a beginning point of how we might introduce new material into the collection.”
Another item the designers sent down the runway was a bag constructed entirely of ice. Given the warmer weather, this bag is definitely more of a winter accessory, although it would be fun to work on at a summer cocktail party.They considered it to be really cool.
Fashion enthusiasts praised the company for its innovations as well as the color scheme of the gloves, which stole the show when they were first released. “The palette, the shape… wonderful,” one fan wrote.
The color scheme is wonderful, said a second, while a third simply stated:
Oh my god, this is awesome.
However, the other topics that the commentators wanted to discuss weren’t the outfits. One Question: “Do condoms only have one use? If so, it would essentially destroy the idea of honoring the ocean and preventing climate change in your collections.”
And still, another said: “Do you know what it means to work with nature when you take rubber condoms for the performance, put them on your hands, then toss them away and produce more trash? Or if you produce five collections each year?”
Ultimately, according to the designers, the collection is all about showing the new “technology” they are utilizing to produce clothing that is more in line with nature.
We will immediately begin doing research into new materials and figuring out novel methods to work with nature. “According to Herrebrugh, the collection also contained t-shirts featuring algae.
Anything that spreads knowledge about our seas is beneficial, according to Vogue. Each year, 8 million metric tons of plastic drown them. Then there are the rising temperatures, which cause coral deaths and the consequent extinction of species. Even without accounting for pollution, it paints a bleak picture.
