Balenciaga F/W 2024.25 Paris

I dont get it. How is the budget this big. These video screen rentals are not cheap. Those are high definition and seamless too. They spent at least 750k on screens alone. Plus having production create the videos, test them …

And the location at the Invalides, which Dior or Celine used many times, is around 400k to rent for a fashion week. Production crews have been on location for 10 days now...
A little bird at Kering told me YSL and Balenciaga have a 10 millions budget per show, 15 for Gucci, all included. Sometimes more when YSL had destination shows.
Is it weird that l find a lot of nice wearable dresses and coats in this collection ? Imho it's much better than the last two years ... It's already seen of course, but this time much better executed ... (except the menswear), it's probably one of my favorite too, maybe from PFW so far...

The last half of the show is really a disaster. This guy is not supposed to be gone by now? Or fired IDK....

I guess that colaborating with Oakley is really smart, it will give the brand more oxygen. The guy knows how to please his audience, I will give him that.

The first half is OK, its sober, I dont dislike it. Interesting info-goss, thanks!

Isabeli Fontana, Esther Cañadas, Maggie Rizer, Frankie Rayder 👍

Thank god they didn't trot out Naomi Campbell.

 

[Alquimista]

Isabeli! Brasil!

The collection is a freak show as usual.

 

[RaisinBoy]

The best show of the season so far.
The rest look like past rehashing losers

The collection this season was less irritating than last season's, so that's an improvement.

I know that runway shows are expensive, but they usually come up to €100-200k, maybe €500k if it's a Dries-style showcase.

€10-15m is understandable for Saint Laurent. They probably pay €2m for the location and the exclusivity rights alone. Building that huge box probably costs another €5m. And that's not including the custom SebastiAn soundtrack, the crazy lights and occasional water fixtures (Summer 19, Summer 22 and Summer 23).

€10-15m for Gucci is questionable though, especially when their current shows consist solely of a raised runway, seats and lights.

Those budgets include the ambassadors... and there are many more for Gucci.

I have seen a nice bag which can be use as a travel bag. That’s all.

The set gives me a migraine.

 

[Ivancica]

After McQueen, this seems very refined.

 

[gallianostan]

so démodé. desperately trying to cling onto any relevance they once had. this is just sad.

 

[GoldenPetals]

Dreadful.

His idea of 'fashion' is so infantile.

 

[GoldenPetals]

I don't even mind some of the menswear, but the way it's executed makes me EMBARRASSED to like them.

 

[liberty33r1b]

there shouldn't even be a thread on this it's so horrible

 

[Steddycam91]

Imagine having the rich history and the resources of a house like Balenciaga and all you can do is be an ironic, sarcastic edgelord. This industry is so finished.

Very cool set but it feels kinda less immersive at times than the last one probably due to the fact of its larger size to fit everyone in there. Or at least that's how it read on camera. I'm sure it was great irl. But how much longer is this gonna go on... Like we got it girl, we got it.

No we are not just going to forget. Balenciaga is for rich tourists from Dubai. It's tacky as f*uck. Wearing Balenciaga is the equivalent of having a tattoo on your forehead that says I have no taste.
