BALENCIAGA: DIAMONDS! CARDI B! LOS ANGELESISM! By Loic Prigent

SUBTITLES ARE AVAILABLE!!! Los Angeles! Balenciaga presents its Fall 2024 collection by Demna in one of the city's most exclusive neighbourhoods: Hancock Park. TV reality icon and actress Lisa Rinna introduces us to the avenue and estimates the price of the mansions. It's all there: palm trees, blue skies, indecently large mansions, and a backdrop of hills and the LOS ANGELES sign. The models will walk down the avenue like real Angelinos. Backstage, they are already practicing their Balenciaga walk. Among them, rapper Cardi B, taking her first steps on a Balenciaga catwalk. The guests start to arrive. Wearing a black outfit seems mandatory, but they're wearing the best accessories: here a coffin clutch, there the word HOLLYWOOD in hair, a bluish foundation. And even a wad of cash for rapper Sexyy Red. This seems to have inspired Interview Magazine's editor-in-chief, Mel Ottenberg. Loic Prigent asks all the guests about the mood of their outfits. Marilyn Monroe 2024. Cowboy grunge XXL. The belle of the Balenciaga ball. The show begins. The soundtrack is by BFRND but we don't use it here for copyrights reasons. Model Abdou Diop wears the new shoes: hormone-inflated Triple S. Triple XL. The first looks scream LA chic sportswear. Wealthy Angelinos coming out of their yoga class. Surprise: Balenciaga signs a collaboration with the luxury market Erewhon, "the Avenue Montaigne of vegetables". Model Amelia Gray lists her favourite snacks from there, the Hailey Bieber smoothie being
