Balenciaga's viral layered parka costs thousands
Written by AJ Willingham, CNN
Balenciaga's uber-parka is part of their ski-themed Autumn/Winter collection that debuted in March during Paris Fashion Week. It is now available in two one-size-fits-all versions: A sensible navy and khaki mix for men ($8,125, or if shipped to the US $9,000) and a kicky teal for women ($7,400).

Why do you suddenly feel the urge to put away the giant pile of clean laundry that's permanently affixed to the chair in the corner of your bedroom?
