Couture fashion makes a career out of trotting art onto a runway and providing works that are far too intricate for public consumption. The ability to fritter away money on a Lady Gaga-esque show piece has also skewed the view on consumer goods. Luxury companies have loaned their considerable names to everyday products; whetting the appetites and wetting the pants of label whores everywhere. StreetLevel has picked out some of the weirder products that have seen the light of day in the name of fashion.




Gucci Ice Trays

You already plunked down cold hard cash for your girl's Gucci luggage and now you can get her the gift that gets her something cold and hard in return. Unfortunately, these G's will actually melt away - much like your bank account if this monogram comes up frequently on your shopping list. You'll be tossing that icy alphabet into Dixie cups of tap water because you won't be able to afford much else.



Louis Vuitton First Aid Kit

In lieu of waiting for Obama-care to touch down in the states, Louis Vuitton is offering us the self help option. The Louis Vuitton First Aid Kit come equipped with bandages, a stethoscope and other tools that make playing doctor just as or more expensive than going to one. If copping this kit is in your plans, you're going to need those bandages for when your wallet starts hemorrhaging money.



Chanel Segway

If the corpse of Audrey Hepburn was cast in the inevitable sequel to "Paul Blart: Mall Cop", this rugged two-wheeler would be the vehicle of choice. Protecting and serving may not be on the menu when your vehicle has its own purse. You can call it a satchel, but we all know the truth.




Gucci Mahjong Set

How do you appease the people who are illegally bootlegging and redistributing your goods around the world? Latch on to one of their most obscure and age old traditions and sell it right back to them for quadruple the price! This China-only mahjong set takes the age old Chinese custom and places it right where it should be--in the back of some old white lady's closet.




Chanel Fishing Rod
Some fishermen catch fish sticks, some catch sushi. With this Chanel Fishing Rod you'll be catching mermaids and trinkets from the lost city of Atlantis. The Gorton's fisherman would pee in his rain pants to be in your galoshes right now.




Ralph Lauren Purple Label x LeBron James Basketball

Many of Ralph Lauren's collections are based on athletic pursuits of the collegiate type. Basketball not being one of them. Images of Ralphie Lipshitz going above the rim are non-existent, which is why he enlisted the help of LeBron James for this $1000 basketball. If you have $1000 dollars to spend on a basketball then you've already scored and the ball never had to touch the ground.




Louis Vuitton x Stephen Sprouse Skateboard

In the world of couture fashion, the only grinding you may end up doing is an awkward dance with an emaciated model. With this Louis Vuitton X Stephen Sprouse collaboration, you can now grind a rail with a deck that belongs in a bank vault rather than a skate shop. Honoring the death of designer Stephen Sprouse, Louis Vuitton produced this day glow deck. This is for all of those who were able to ollie over the recession.



Goyard Barbie Case

If Barbie is your obsession then you are probably on the wrong website. But in the toy hierarchy Barbie has one plastic stiletto boot on top of the entire toy heap. G.I. Joe come packaged in a plastic case backed with cardboard. Barbie? A pink Goyard trunk with personal drawers and a change of outfits. Our side has the guns but we still lost the toy war.




Karl Lagerfeld x Stieff Teddy Bear

When we want to create a toy resemblance, most of us just get fat an blink a lot so we look like Teddy Ruxpin. Designer Karl Lagerfeld had the luxury of someone wanting to make a bear in his image. Cuddle with that at night if you want, but he looks like the type that would critique your pajamas.




Chanel Boomerang

Last time we saw a boomerang it was starring Eddie Murphy and his porno moustache. Chanel thought it their duty to put this Australian weapon back into prominence by branding and glossing it out. Now you have a dangerous kangaroo killing weapon that matches your pumps. Crikey!
