The volatile was first spotted on the JW Anderson catwalk on January 16, 2022, at Milan Fashion Week.
During the fall-winter 2022 men's show, several models rushed in front of the assembly, a dummy pigeon in hand.
Crazy idea, to honor this unloved bird, populating urban landscapes: naturally, the accessory as funny as kitsch immediately made people talk about it.
And especially for its price: 690 euros.
No one therefore expected to find this fashionable UFO on anyone's arm.
It was without counting the first shots of the filming of season 2 of And Just Like That.... the sequel to
Sex and the city
.
In these images, we find Sarah Jessica Parker in the guise of Carrie Bradshaw, the famous pigeon bag in her hand.

Sense of fashion versus sense of humor
In a post on her Instagram account, the 57-year-old actress gives it a layer with the bird.
On the picture, he is placed on the ground, on his feet shod in sandals worn over tights, a Fendi mini-bag as an anklet: obviously, Carrie Bradshaw shows a pronounced taste for mischievous accessories.
This is not the first time that the character has sported feathers and a bag in the shape of a bird.
With this minaudière with false airs of trinket, she ventures into humor, a particularly divisive register in terms of fashion.
Some creators, such as Jeremy Scott, Jean Paul Gaultier or Viktor and Rolf take humor very seriously, not opposing aesthetics and teasing spirit.
What better than the reviled bird to embody this discrepancy, and thumb its nose at good taste?
In 2017, at the start of the ugly shoe trend, Japanese designer Kyoto Ohata's pair of pigeon shoes went viral, becoming one of those fashion pieces we love to hate.
In short, the debate is open: to be well dressed, should elegance be taken at face value?
Can we try a touch of joke, at the risk of leaving feathers?
JW Anderson and Sarah Jessica Parker have chosen their camp.
