BALENCIAGA'S HAUTE CRASH AND BURN

Balenciaga Haute Couture has been something I have come to look forward to every year, but this year's version fell very very flat. The lack of Balenciaga-isms in favor more gimmick shock value looks and Maison Margiela references just lost me this season.

Not only are these clothes ugly, but they look almost impossible to wear. The models kicking the excess fabric away at each step just to get across the room often look miserably uncomfortable.

I dont understand why so many designers are forcing streetwear to be haute couture. 🙄

[IconandEveryman]

You wearing your bedsheets to create your own haute couture. I live!❤😂

[ruth-ejyl]

At this point we don’t need Balenciaga

Couldn’t agree with you more! Unfortunately you didn’t mention the faux fur coats. I thought ok, crazy blue fur coat... boring... But then I learnt it took 13’000 hours to make it, handpicking and arranging millions of acrilyc hairs and the sewing them all onto the silk organza, and then dying each piece, and then cutting that “fur” for 40 hours to make it look all wild. It blew my mind! That’s real couture! But when you see it for the first time it looks like cheap ugly fur coat... And only when you learn how much time and effort it takes to make such a piece you think ok wow. And that’s a problem for me with this show. Shouldn’t it make you say WOW the moment you see it? And not later when you make yourself like it in a way because you respect all the work done by couture people... You know?

I still haven’t figured out why everyone doesn’t realize that their design is actual trash.

I just hate Balenciaga in recent years. It all feels like ragebait and "whatever can we sucker people into buying now?"

[ErinShannon]

My mom used that threat about throwing all my stuff in the trash too, and it looked like that dress.

How do models a) keep a straight face b) turn red from embarrassment c) walk

[Eurydice-cjtv]

For me, the whole thing reads misery, masochism, self-importance and disdain, like Demna hates humans . The models echo that - faces obscured, trudging, lumbering, toiling under the weight of all that...stuff.

There was nothing even slightly joyful about this collection beside the butterfly masks and even those felt tacked on. I really do like the t-shirts and oversized jackets but we've seen those a million times with Balenciaga. Idk, I guess they're trying to recover from the scandal but idk how this is helping.

people actually sit through this with a straight face???

[emma]

I hate everything about this collection, petition to remove Demna 🤢 Coming here for your sassy humour and that's it! 😂

[rudyspective]

"Lazy Margiela looks.." EXACTLY!

6:31 The head-to-jacket ratio here is really giving goomba from the Super Mario Brothers movie energy

If the pile of clothes I have in the corner of my room, suddenly became sentient 😂😂😂

[patfarrell]

The oversized jackets and pants reminds me of Kanye West design, lol.

[seekittycat]

I don't know what type of casual clientele who can wear these as "real clothing"? It doesn't look like you can really move or do anything in some of these pieces without them falling, getting in the way or getting caught on things.

Luke you cracked me up!😂😂 I love you sitting there wrapped in sheets!
