Balenciaga presented its 53rd Couture Collection on June 26 in Paris. The collection was all about over sized t-shirts and cargo pants and shorts for men and heavy motif gowns for women. What caught everyone's attention the most were the over sized head and face gears in shape of butterfies, large hats and abstract shapes. Earlier in the day celebs like Katy Perry, Nicole Kidman, Michele Yeoh and Joey King were seen arriving for the show.
Balenciaga has shared all the looks from this collection on its social media accounts. Known for it's bold and unique collection, under the creative direction of Demna Gvasalia since 2015, Balenciaga has undergone a modern renaissance, blending streetwear influences with high fashion aesthetics. Gvasalia's bold, disruptive designs have garnered widespread acclaim and transformed the brand into a symbol of progressive fashion.
Katy Perry wore a one-shoulder red minidress from Balenciaga during the Paris Fashion Week, to which she added a dramatic 500-feet long train with the lyrics of her upcoming single 'Woman's World' engraved on it.
The 'Roar' singer coordinated the dress with sheer black tights and a pair of black leather pointed-toe pumps. Parry's look went viral as she stepped out of a limousine in the striking ensemble.
Balenciaga's iconic pieces, such as the oversized Triple S sneakers, garbage bag bags, Lay's chips pouches, the Hourglass bag, and the logo-emblazoned hoodies, have become must-have items among fashion enthusiasts and celebrities alike. The brand's runway shows are eagerly anticipated for their theatrical presentations and trend-setting styles that challenge conventional norms.
Beyond its influential designs, Balenciaga remains committed to sustainability and ethical practices in fashion. The brand's initiatives to reduce environmental impact and promote transparency resonate with a global audience increasingly mindful of the fashion industry's footprint.
