“We have to trigger emotion,” Creative Director of Balenciaga Demna said backstage, wearing a face-obscuring mask of his own. According to him, we live in a terrifying world and fashion is a reflection of that.
“The most important kind of challenge for any kind of creative is to make a desirable product, to create desire. That’s what fashion should do,” Demna said.
The collection also consisted of evening wears in the form of second-skin sequined gowns and silk trench dresses with trains. The third part of the fashion show was the collaboration with Adidas. This consisted of tracksuits, scaled-up t-shirts, boxer’s robes, and also track dresses of different designs.
