BALENCIAGA FW17 WOMENS

Nowadays it’s hard to tell what the real garment looks like from all the styling frills they add to it. It’s a creative trick to enhance a lot of looks and I’m a put smart money on the jackets hear buttoned to the shoulder are exactly that. It looks dope and I dig’em but I’m pretty sure they trenches with aligned button holes in the end. Tings of that ilk. What I really like is the 9 couture dresses in honor of the 100th anniversary for the house that closed the show. Check it though. These are actually Cristóbal Balenciaga’s own designs from the 1950’s! Demna Gvasalia has added some pockets and accessorized them with giant matching Bazaar bags, but much to his credit, with styling, he has made them modern, elegant. Salute!

真/CURIOSO : THE PSYCHOPATHS ON THE BALANCIAGA RUNWAY SS17

Demna Gvasalia sent down a posse of psychopaths this SS17 menswear season to distract viewers from the strange clothes. Exaggerated box-shaped shoulders that could house football pads comfortably were his cause célèbre this season. Really like the dude that looked like he came straight outta Nosferatu or some Munsters episode.
