How To Style the Infamous Labubu - The Scene Styled Version
Imagine, if you will, arriving at Runway magazine with a Labubu dangling from a Birkin. Would security not intervene?
Like fruit flies over a summer platter of watermelon, cantaloupe, and peaches, Labubus have descended — relentlessly. These snaggle-toothed, wide-eyed creatures have invaded every corner of the internet, clinging to luxury handbags with the deranged persistence of a bad trend gone viral. Once a niche toy, Labubu has become the final boss of bag charms, colonising feeds and flattening taste in its path.
Attempts at understanding this phenomenon have yielded little clarity. Is it irony? Visual noise? A collective act of sartorial rebellion? Whatever the appeal, it's proving durable — and divisive. For every perfectly composed flat lay featuring a Labubu, there's a viewer silently asking: why ruin a thoughtfully designed bag with something that looks like a 'cinnamon roll but could kill you'.
Imagine, if you will, arriving at Runway magazine with a Labubu dangling from a Birkin. Would security not intervene? And yet, here we are. A styling guide exists — not out of necessity, but damage limitation. If the Labubu cannot be stopped, perhaps it can be subdued.
