Briefly

The collection is a fusion of 'Standard-Issue' Balenciaga elements, referencing both contemporary and historical fashion legacies, such as the semi-fitted line of 1951 and Cristóbal's iconic designs. The paradox of blending the past with modern absurdities reflects Demna's vision of challenging norms within the fashion industry.
