After the Gucci hack, the video game presented the full pandemic and the post-apocalyptic dystopian scenario, Balenciaga never ceases to amaze and for the presentation of its SS22 collection calls on super special guests: The Simpsons
Yes, to launch the latest Demna Gvasalia collection this time there is an episode created in collaboration with the iconic producer Matt Groening who brought all his Springfield to the Paris of Fashion Week. In the episode, Homer calls creative director Gvasalia to design a dress for his wife Marge, culminating in a show in which all of Springfield‘s most beloved inhabitants, including Bart and Moe, participate. The inevitable Anna Wintour also appears sitting, as usual, in the front row to admire the show.

The episode was presented last Saturday in a theater in Place du Chatelet as an exclusive preview to a parterre of dear guests of the Maison. On the red carpet of the event, celebrities such as Cardi B, Offset, Lewis Hamilton, Juergen Teller, Isabelle Huppert, Naomi Campbell and Elliot Page paid tribute to the brand by wearing the new SS22 garments.
Balenciaga’s SS22 summer collection has very little, it focuses entirely on black and plays to mix streetwear with haute couture. Tight-fitting dresses and jumpsuits become a second skin, to be worn with bomber jackets and oversized coats. The clothes are extra in every detail: from the shapes to the textures up to the dimensions, Balenciaga confirms the desire to never go unnoticed and be protagonists. Alongside the dresses, there are also the now iconic 80s blazers with padded shoulder pads, oversized nylon jackets, bootcut trousers, and indispensable pointed boots.
