There were not many Kim Kardashians at the show, the original was in Portofino for the wedding of her sister Kourtney, there were not even the protagonists of American Horror Story but it was the casting without identity chosen by Demna Gvasalia to give life to the Balenciaga Spring 2023 collection. There are all the features for a collection that will drive social networks crazy and as a result sales, this is little but sure, so much so that the location chosen for the event was the New York Stock Exchange. Money makes the world go round, go round…
The classic stripes are declined on macro sweatshirts, trousers and even on Triple S (will ever go out of fashion?) all strictly on sale until the end of the month, combined with classic wardrobe items such as trench coats, suits and shirts with bow.
Once again Balenciaga distorts the communication of fashion as we are used to know it (think of the parade with the characters of the Simpsons) and creates a real breaking event loaded with meanings, because more than a designer is an artist – Business of Fashion proclaimed him Artist of the year in 2016 but that title still seems to fit him perfectly.
