Money is ‘the world’s biggest fetish’, said the designer as he showcased his ability to bring provocation to commercial product with a show at the New York Stock Exchange. Balenciaga’s SS23 collection returned to Demna’s origins with the tailoring of the Garde-Robe line and demonstrated the suffocation of capitalism with a collaboration with adidas.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under Demna<\/strong>‘s iconoclastic and mononymous creative direction, Balenciaga’s latest presentations and collections of late have leaned towards a sense of excessive dystopia, uniquely combining luxury with current events. This time, the designer wanted to present the SS23<\/strong> range in an iconic location in the city that never sleeps, and what better place than the New York Stock Exchange,<\/strong> the pinnacle of extreme capitalism.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The show was divided into two parts, the first half presenting the perfect uniform for work and the second a streetwear collaboration with adidas<\/strong>.\u00a0Demna opted for a new line, composed of draped blouses, elegantly cut trench coats and pleated dresses in neutral tones. The second part was the collab with the sports brand: “I always wanted to wear the three stripes and the logo”. <\/strong><\/em>However, the models stood out because they were covered in black latex.<\/p>\n
