First After BDSM Controversy, Here Are 7 Interesting Things from the Balenciaga Show at Paris Fashion Week

The Balenciaga Winter 2023 fashion show on Sunday (5/3) was far from provocative. Creative director Demna Gvasalia presented a brand-new collection since the controversy over the 2022 campaign. Demna treads fundamental things where he invites us to focus on clothes rather than pop culture or something sensational. Although packaged in different nuances, ranging from simple venues to ready-to-wear clothing, the designs are centered on tailoring which are interspersed with interesting, eccentric details.

From sporty to elegant evening wear, they are offered for winter 2023. Let’s take a peek at a number of interesting things from the Balenciaga show at Paris Fashion Week some time ago!

1. Reversed-Trousers Dress

Deconstruction is a concept that underlies many winter designs, as shown in coats and dresses. The reverse trouser design used for coats and dresses is found in a number of looks. For example the following v neckline dress where the trouser loop design is displayed as an asymmetrical hemline.

2. Double Pants

Aside from being coats and dresses, deconstruction of trousers into more quirky forms is also common. Double trousers, namely the addition of an accent where the legs look hanging on the front or side of the pants, gives an eccentric silhouette that complements denim suits to blazers.

3. Inflatable Jacket

Inflatable or inflated clothing is nothing new. But this playful and quirky design is also held by Balenciaga in a sporty look. For example, a black racing jacket that bubbles on the arms and shoulders as look 24. The jacket is worn with flared cargo pants and biker boots.

4. Round Shoulderline

In addition to the inflatable shape, emphasis on the shoulder line is also made with a round construction. The puff sleeves model with a more solid round shape is created from sport jackets, long-sleeved turtleneck tops, to luxurious evening gowns.

5. Biker Boots

Complementing sportswear, boots are included as this year’s winter collection. But the sporty element of a pair of boots completes the look. Knee-length biker boots with flat soles make a statement in itself thanks to the visuals like a racing jacket.
