Description
Balenciaga's Spring '22 show was heard round the world—particularly in Springfield, USA (whereabouts famously unknown). A lifelong fan, Demna Gvasalia opened with a mini episode of 'The Simpsons', with the cast's stars acting as models for the collection in Paris—Gvasalia's vision is evident even in cartoon form. Off screen, we're treated to glam updates on contemporary brand classics, like gigantic gowns, sequined column silhouettes, oversized tailoring and jeans, track pants, and plenty of pleating. Spun from plisse satin, the label's voluminous midi dress is flatteringly gathered at the waist and falls to a floaty handkerchief hem. Team yours with sandals or boots and your favorite gold jewels.
