Balenciaga F/W 2016.17 Paris

[Fashionstuff]

An unlined dress made of viscose crepe, on top of that... Plus, I don't really see what makes this garment particularly complex to construct - It's not bias-cut, there is no elaborate demicouture technique involved, it's just an oversized tee-shape with ruched collar and flounces on the hem. I don't even dare to compare what you would have gotten from Nicolas at that price, back in the days...

Absolutely! Horrible price for horrible dress.
I didn't see this Dress "live" but i believe IloveDiorHomme , this Dress on the photo looks like the deconstruction-construction and not in the best way.

Surprisingly, this collection looks very good in editorials.

Yes, on the photos the collection Looks good, photoshop, colours and poses and art of photographer.

Looking at this thread 6½ years later makes me cackle before breaking down into tears because Demna is still here.

Wow looking at this is kind of comforting to me lol reminds me of a time that was a little less crazy and charged.

Also, the style here I kinda miss. His first few collections gave me a mundane office-y vibe that I used to like. The contrast to the hehe capitalism landfill clothes stuff they do now kinda makes me sad but watever

I learned from a very good source that the main reason Wang was hired was because after Ghesquiere, Kering wanted to bring in a designer who was more apt to work from stock fabrics in order to raise their margins.

No wonder they love Demna who, in regards to costly fabric development, is even more lackluster and offers much greater profit.

Imagine all the rolls of poly and poly blended cotton they can now keep on hand and go back to over and over again.

Nylon too. That's why every collection from Winter'18 has an increasingly obscene amount of windbreakers and tracksuits. Let's also add that this brand is more or less a menswear brand now.
