Mostly black, oversized and functional, this particular collection is very connected with current trends such as ‘Quiet Luxury’ but in the most Demna Gvasalia way. After a couple of seasons back, and trying to leave everything behind, this proposal is full of codes, little touches of color and already iconic silhouettes that have worked for Demna before, still the photo-book walks from Place Vendôme, to Arc de Triomphe and Balenciaga’s identity headquarters at 10 Avenue George V.
For a collection that is meant to be for travelers and fast-living people, Balenciaga plays it safe with blazers, long coats and fluid dresses. This time, the fashion film make the clothes travel themselves though season changes, Spring, rain, sun, and the grayest Paris sky. Styling is key in Demna’s work and here, the accessories such as black sunglasses, footwear, streetwear and his industrial approach, make it easy for Parisians to desire functional and edgy garments.
