Breaking Down Demna Gvasalia's Balenciaga Debut (FW16 REVIEW)

In today's video I talk about Demna Gvasalia's Balenciaga Debut. In the Fall / Autumn Winter 2016 show, Demna looked to transforming the Balenciaga DNA into something fit for the contemporary market. Cristobal Balenciaga’s methodology was to create clothing engineered to transform how women felt and therefore how they looked. The ¾ sleeve the standaway collar, the skirt running slightly ahead of ones walk. The repour between body and clothes, a couture attitude. Balenciaga was built on the relationship between couturier, client, and cloth. The BALENCIAGA Autumn Winter 2016 RTW collection the debut by the new artistic director is presented as a series of couture attitudes transforming a modern utilitarian wardrobe. The notion of sophisticated is toyed with and abstract inspiration. What is sophisticated today? How to place Balenciaga’s legacy in a new context? The collection is built around 4 attitudes focusing on a manner of carrying ones self in clothing rather than silhouette. The mannerisms are then translated into cut and construction to discretely but distinctly effect the deportment and psychology of the wearer.
