Balenciaga Haute Couture F/W 2023.24 Paris

Is that real denim or trompe l'oeil? Like duchess satin or taffeta or whatever, "screen printed to look like distressed denim". Either way, it's not particularly interesting.
 
The dirty-look menswear and the closing looks provoke so much hate in my soul.
 
That closing dress looks perfect to bake something in it…idiotic.

The distressed looking feather dresses and Huppert’s look photograph very well. The rest of the collection is further proof that the joke has gone far enough…

I thought this was kinda fun lol --> They posted a sort of couture online store. Mariacarla's robe dress is 45k euros
I love that they included the information how each garment was made. I find this particularly interesting. It's about the red parka from look 41.
DUE TO THE GARMENT’S COMPLEX CONSTRUCTION, AN EXTERNAL ATELIER CREATES THE BASE USING A HEAT-SEALING TECHNIQUE FOR THE SEAMS. BALENCIAGA'S COUTURE ATELIER THEN TAKES OVER WITH AN INNER TAILORING CANVAS TO FURTHER REINFORCE THE STRUCTURE.

Say's it's hand painted with oils
 
^ it's like a parody of a parody. it's quite refreshing how open they are about the insane prices.

the show was like the fashion version of the Phantom of the Opera.
Sometimes tacky, too boring, even a bit uncomfortable to watch, sometimes great, with cheesy drama (most of the dresses and jewelry), and some monsterous borderline clothing (mostly the men offerings, the witchy shoes and the joke of final look). I have this feeling that Demna is not ready to go yet.
 
^That’s cool and all but an oil based paint/ink doesn’t really set for years, especially when painted on. I’d question the longevity of it or if the fabric itself has been primed and then given a final coat to prevent transferring.

The inner legs of these pants and the armpits of the jackets are gonna end up looking murky if they haven’t done so.
 
I thought we were done w demna and the irony. Now we are having ironic couture socks.

please these people have no respect for process. Have you seen him and his bum friends? They get off on looking like people you cross the street to avoid. Demmas eastern european angst definitely is not appropriate for haute couture and certainly not PARIS. The disrespect with which the super important house of Balenciaga has had to endure is truly second to none in the fashion world. His HC is literal trash worse than Julien Mcdonald at Givenchy - at least you could see Julien try. Its more of thst post modern “is it fashion?” crap. Again demna thinks hes andy warhol but he gives lisa frank.

DAMN this is pretentious. The best pieces are those minimal ones in the beginning, but I knew that was too good to be true.
 
Oh, come on! Dior dressed Portman in newly made Junon copy in Cannes, like they have no designer to reinterpreted it. This one at least is not that overused as Junon
 
Demna is a genius! Love this!

This collection is so fresh and so modern and I love how he challenges conventional notions of couture and beauty with his unique casting. So Balenciaga!

It's really hands down the best show of the week and think Demna has really proven himself as the only worthy and original courturier working today.

And I loved the music, so elegant and chic!













NOT. I'm just f*cking with you guys. Gotta keep ya on your toes.

I only have one thing to say that you all haven't already said: bye felicia!
