Balenciaga

Balenciaga’s first major runway after the 2022 advertising crisis abandoned elaborate scenery and conspicuous logo play. At the Carrousel du Louvre, Demna concentrated on the shoulder, long trousers, jackets constructed from trouser patterns and the physical discipline of tailoring. The collection was widely read as a reset, not because it erased the recent crisis, but because it redirected the public argument towards garment construction.
