they really need to give the job to Tisci!Same shtick, different season. The sooner Balenciaga and Demna part ways the better. Absolutely cannot wait to move on from this monstrosity of a direction. This whole streetwear aesthetic for Balenciaga feels beyond tired, dated and overplayed in 2024.
So I checked their website and they have "pantashoes", "pantabodysuit", and "pantaleggings", but in fact they already have some of those in lace or hosiery trompe-l'oeil for fall 24, so even the lingerie thing is not a new idea.The term is "pantashoes", but yes. That's another Margiela-ism BTW.
were sorry that only 2/47 messages in the thread "understand" it. we will do better next timeYou either understand a good talent when you see one, or you will need 10 years to get to your senses.
Weren't sales down 16% this year?Because it's cheap. Look at those clothes. They're clearly, as the British would say, cheap as chips to make. Most of the work is done in China from cheap materials. Bring them to Italy, do some machine embroidery, slap on that "Made in Italy" label, and sell it at an obscene mark-up. That tatty Balenciaga stuff has got to be ridiculously profitable — far, far moreso than Gucci, Bottega, or YSL. If Kering is letting that crap continue, there's only one reason: It's making money.
blowing up proportions of regular clothes isnt fashion...but actually different proportions
So all this time, you had high standards for everybody….Just to defend Demna.So tired of people trashing Demna’s Balenciaga, and yes he copies a lot from Margiela, no discussion there. But I’m also old enough to remember that people and press HATED Margiela’s collections when he showed, same reasons - its not luxurious, its half destroyed blah blah blah…

Cristobal was experimental. So is Demna. Why would he be doing 1960s shapes in 2025?!? Only the most conservative people want that…
Sure, some shows of Balenciaga are better than others, but nevertheless its always one of the best collections of the season. Period!

Oh god, why have Galliano costume drama ruin another label?!?after this mess... only john galliano can save balenciaga. He will embrace the basicness of demna and bring it to couture level. Then Balenciaga is back as a real luxury brand and not some streetwear luxury b.s.

Oh well…
Not sure if my standards are high or low, it’s just my opinion. Happy to always hear yours too.So all this time, you had high standards for everybody….Just to defend Demna.

I really don't remember as a buying client of original margiela and following fashion that he was hated and for sure not in context of like a Demna now (being a one trick pony troll) there was a whole wave of antwerp designers that did fashion and luxury in non traditional glamorous way all the cool brands had this touch even all the early nicolas balenciaga was more dark and raw hems etc even the Japanese ones.So tired of people trashing Demna’s Balenciaga, and yes he copies a lot from Margiela, no discussion there.

Of course, this is all true what you’re saying. But also please remember that there was no forums like this, there was no internet for just about anyone to trash him. He for sure never received the applause he deserved - and if you really were a buyer at the time, dont you remember that his company almost went out of business many times over?? It was a struggle! Why do you think he sold it in the end to creepy Diesel people?!?I really don't remember as a buying client of original margiela and following fashion that he was hated and for sure not in context of like a Demna now (being a one trick pony troll) there was a whole wave of antwerp designers that did fashion and luxury in non traditional glamorous way all the cool brands had this touch even all the early nicolas balenciaga was more dark and raw hems etc even the Japanese ones.
Margiela did chock because he was new , this did get for sure comments but hated margiela in his time this is new , complaints of his hermes was boring etc yes this i remember.
But its ok every one might experience the past differently
