Balenciaga wants you to pay $9K to dress like Joey from ‘Friends’

Look out, Rachel Green: Joey Tribbiani may have secretly been the most stylish member of the “Friends” gang all along.

Balenciaga’s new seven-layer parka — comprised of multiple plaid shirts, jersey hoodies and fleece layers all stitched together into one giant “Frankencoat” — is making waves on social media thanks to its striking resemblance to an ensemble worn by Matt LeBlanc’s character on the beloved sitcom.

“Imagine spending £8,000 on this Balenciaga coat just to look like Joey from friends in the episode where he puts all Chandlers clothes on,” one Twitter user wrote, referring to a scene from Season 3 in which Joey enacts revenge on Chandler (Matthew Perry) by raiding his closet.

Added another, “Joey Tribiani [sic] was frickin ahead of his time,” while a third user simply tweeted a GIF of Joey’s most memorable line from the episode: “Could I bewearing any more clothes?”

Still, others cast the lovably dimwitted character in his own Balenciaga campaign, photoshopping the fashion house’s minimalist logo onto stills of the “Friends” scene in question.

While Joey put together his layered look for free, Balenciaga’s take will set you back $9,000.
