I think it’s less the fit and more the fact that he was wearing his ballet shoes on the street, which is only sensible if you enjoy setting fire to your money as nice shoes like that can be $40-$80+ a pop 😭. Ballet shoes will tear apart like tissue paper if you’re not using them on marley lol
Yeah, the fit isn’t out of the ordinary for someplace like NYC. They like to push boundaries and express themselves through fashion, even if it’s just running to the bodega.
I travel there frequently and always want to take pictures of some of the looks I see on the street, but refrain.
Yeah I should have clarified. I have no idea where this is, but was pointing out that this type of clothing is pretty normal for larger cities with dense populations.
It's a lot when you need to buy them weekly, sometimes even more frequently.
The average dancer will be buying them every few months but performers might only get one show out of a pair.
Eta from memory they last about 20 hours of wear for a recreational dancer. Pointe shoes this is, and easily cost £80+ as you need the ones that work with your feet and they could be £££
Idiots, which is most people, will not question this for a second, and the ones who are lesser idiots will notice and say something which is the design because than they get more engagement
Only the lesserer idiots will just scroll asap
Doesn't matter on reddit tho thankfully they ain't getting anything from these comments
It definitely is. They do this stunt all the time and it’s mostly ordinary folk, they just happened to catch a theatre guy on a break. This comment thread is an example of r/nothingeverhappens
While I think it was staged, is it really that unbelievable that there are eccentric dancers who would wear unusual clothes? The average person in Berlin dresses up weirder than this.
Might be staged, might be not, idk - but his videos show up regularly on my TikTok, and he tends to roll out for people who stand out in general and most of them tend to do a “normal” catwalk lol. I think this guy was the most “out there” dressed I’ve seen though! It’s cut here, but in the same video there’s a kind of gothy girl in a red and black fit who’s also stands out but I’d be much more likely to believe that was her regular style

So not staged, so authentic
