Pierpaolo Piccioli - Designer, Creative Director of Balenciaga

[Kimihiro]

It’s one brand where I want a visual rebrand. The logo honestly could be better but not my concern. The packaging and the stores pain me.

PPP is safe, I don’t know if he will sell, but lately Balenciaga has a solid accessory team to buoy them.

I'm going to miss the crazy glasses Demna designed for Balenciaga. Demna changed my concept of fashion and democratized it. It would have been great if I had continued his legacy.

you must be trolling. balenciaga has been made into a joke when mentioned by the general public because of demna.

"The Heartbeat" Oh no he's back at it with this cheesy poetic stuff.

All the teasers have been insufferable

 

[YohjiAddict]

All the teasers have done nothing to tease and everything to fill me with loading of what’s to come. In his time at Valentino he firstly became a competent dressmaker to then degrade into such a pretentious smoke-salesman — who acted like he was reinventing water by styling a taffeta cape with sequined hot pants…

I think it would be good if he works with MGC again. Maybe at Fendi?

I like Balenciaga collection. At least people will now calling it Balenci lol

 

[Overindulgence]

He's going to be the Virginie Viard to Balenciaga's Chanel. The Claire Waight Keller to Balenciaga's Givenchy. He will last a couple of years until Kering figures out their strategy. Then when he's out, he'll collab on some department store/fast fashion brand collections. And I think he's already content with that.

But who do you think can do Balenciaga? It's a tricky house. The legacy is too couture. And recent years – are too ripped and dirty. Nicolas was amazing, but it was him more than Balenciaga really. Not sure you can have a megabrand built on retro futurism. Again, apart for Hedi who can turn it into Celine 2.0 – luxe parisian wardrobe - I don't know who can handle all of it (especially now when they have big menswear and couture). If im not mistaken, there are even separate stores for Balenciaga Menswear... Like before Givenchy Mens had it's own stores. Not sure how that's gonna go.

But i do understand – for them it's probably more impotant that Gucci gets all ex Balenciaga hype. Balenciaga could have been what Alaia is now with Peter... Alternative brand for fashionable feminine clients. But... not sure they can sell that on the size of Balenciaga. And what will happen with their sneaker business? Will they continue old models like Tripple S? I'm affraid it will look like Givenchy that was still selling Ricardo's shark boots and Bambi printed t-shirts... that made no sense for recent collections.

They keep trying to make Giveon a fashion girly, I am just not seeing it.
First Chanel, now this. I know he was (maybe still is) styled by Yashua Simmons who I like, but - stop.

I don't see Giveon aligning as seamlessly with Balenciaga, or any fashion house to that end. Just have good style, no need for maison partnerships as an R&B singer. I also think it's too early for PP or anyone at Balenciaga to think about new partnerships before re-establishing out footing with reviving and reemphasizing original house code after years of disruption.

I know the intention was Demna with the sunglasses but I think more of Missy Elliott in her music video…

Keep the top, wear with high waisted pants, remove the sunglasses and it could have been a great look.

She is beautiful, she has a great body but this look is not « her ». It’s very fashion victim.

She would look better IMO in the latest McQueen collection.
