         SEEING RED
Paris
For the debut of Balenciaga’s Summer 2022 collection, the forces
of fashion, entertainment, and pop culture joined together for an immersive two-part performance. Creative director Demna Gvasalia cast the Maison’s friends, team members, and celebrities—which included Juergen Teller, Dev Hynes, and Ella Emhoff—to model the collection on a striking red carpet at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. Once inside, guests enjoyed the premiere of a special Simpsons episode where Balenciaga takes to Springfield, inviting the iconic cast to model at Paris Fashion Week. Meticulous fan-pleated gowns walked down the red carpet runway, juxtaposed with disproportionate streetwear pieces like bombers, jeans, and sweaters made
from upcycled and innovative materials to highlight Balenciaga’s commitment to responsible production. Equally show-stopping were the reimagined accessories, from the XX Bag to the Cagole Boot—a footwear version of the classic studded handbag.
