Recently, the most popular fashion event must be Balenciaga Balenciaga Released the Spring 23 series in the trading hall of New York Stock Exchange .
The star lineup that came to this show was also brilliant, including the mayor of New York, Kanye and Fei Dong... Almost half of the big names in the hip-hop circle were present.
Even Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of "VOGUE", who is over 70 years old, and Chinese designer Vera Wang, arrived at the scene to help the brand and appear on the New York Stock Exchange.
In this presentation of the BALENCIAGA Spring 23 series, creative director Demna once again showed his very good side of life, handed over a series of designers' personal style that can be seen at a glance, and you can tell what brand it is at a glance. It is obvious that BALENCIAGA's symbolization has been successful, and he once again defined his personality in the fashion field.
Show models wrapped their bodies in a mysterious latex onesie, which looked creepy. The latex clothes are paired with gorgeous clothes, one is a niche and the other is a social dinner scene. The two elements that were originally out of place, I might think they were schizophrenia, but when I came to the world of BALENCIAGA, I felt that everything was so reasonable.
This reminds me of the Rubber Man in "American Horror Story" and the clips from the movie " Pulp Novel ". I feel like there is a horror instantly, which makes my spine cool.
Perhaps for many people, this type of covered face is too abrupt, but when we think about it carefully, this may be an artistic act of the brand, expressing emotions towards the mainstream world. As a kind of clothing in subculture, latex clothing has been cleverly taken to the table, and such elements are rebelliously applied to the design, demonstrating the rebellion of the brand and the spirit of punk .
Moreover, such a display form can really make people pay more attention to the design of clothing, integrate the designer's worldview to convey the ultimate aesthetics, and have a strong visual effect.
Because even though we use a lot of black designs, we can still see that BALENCIAGA still maintains the super high standards that luxury brands should have this season, perfectly interpreting the textbook of how to not be low-key in All Black. A series of suits, ready-to-wear items and coats have been streamlined and reshaped without any brand logo, and only use minimalist construction technology to highlight the brand's eye-catching silhouette and exquisite tailoring.
The reason I have always liked the fashion circle is that there are always many people in the fashion circle that are innovative and stick to their own style, and they will not hesitate to become the demons and ghosts in the mouths of others to promote the diversity of fashion and create a different style system. I really think he is very powerful. He uses his unique style to be an alternative person in the fashion circle. Seeing this show, I really understood Demna's spiritual world and his loneliness.
In addition to the classic BALENCIAGA style, this show also has a collaboration series launched by the German sports brand Adidas adidash. The logo combines two brands and presents the Balenciaga logo in lowercase fonts, and above it is marked with the clover logo of adidas.
This series uses BALENCIAGA's iconic contours and cropping, and uses BALENCIAGA silhouette cut combined with adidas classic logo to present the retro flavor, creating new ideas in the ordinary, reconstructing and reshaping sportswear elements.
It may be that the tone of the first half show was very dark. When the series collaborated by adidas appeared, bright colors came into view, which really gave people a bright feeling. A series of items were extremely youthful and full of vitality.
What is surprising is that after the release just ended, BALENCIAGA has brought pre-sales of a new co-branded series on its official website. Compared with the previous efficiency in the fashion circle, this time BALENCIAGA has really played through the traffic password.
Overall, I think this show will make people feel weird at first glance, but in fact, many of the designs are very exquisite and clever. I especially like extremely formal dresses on the show, such as tight dresses, dress suits and ground-level silk trench coats with skirts.
In fact, windbreaker and cocoon coat have always been the most classic items of BALENCIAGA. In 1957, the founder of the brand Cristóbal Balenciaga invented the cocoon coat with contemporary significance and created a classic in fashion history.
Many people say that Demna's design is a complete rebellion, but I think he is a person who respects the traditions of the BALENCIAGA brand very much. Behind every innovation and subversion, he will abide by the traditions and classics of the BALENCIAGA and pay tribute to the classics in new ways.
BALENCIAGA's design always takes into account tradition and innovation, providing traditional customers with classic elegance, and creating disruptive fashions in this brand that are contrary to tradition. It seems that ARTPOP is paying tribute to the classics on the one hand, and creating hot spots on the other hand.
Demna has always been breaking the lyrics and breaking through oneself. Every show has its conceptuality, presenting its own artistic concept with outstanding visual effects.
Every time the birth of the new series of BALENCIAGA is accompanied by a deep level of dilapidation of the old and establishing the new. Being ahead of the times and breaking the conventional way of thinking is the brand's philosophy and original intention of creativity. Keeping one's own self in this world is unique. BALENCIAGA is unique.
Think carefully, hasn’t fashion always become greater by subverting tradition and creating trends? The core of fashion is avant-garde, leading the trend, and exploring aesthetics and dress.
So in the current world, there is a brand like BALENCIAGA, and fashion really becomes interesting.
