In the wake of Balenciaga's advertising scandal, creative director Demna wants to focus on 'the art of making clothes.'
Balenciaga’s fall show on Sunday morning, the first since its advertising scandal last November, felt different — very different.
The show Sunday at the ultimate old-school venue, the Carrousel du Louvre, went off without any noticeable hitch, the runway theater as plain as can be: rows of black chairs in a long room lined with white toile, the primary tool for tailoring and dressmaking.
The Georgian designer said he grabbed a stash of vintage pants, and with his sewing machine and scissors set out to create new garments from them: Pants that turn into jackets, dresses or trenchcoats. “And this deconstruction literally became like a solution for me personally.”
