What To Buy From Balenciaga For Summer 2024
Your shopping guide to the must-have pieces from Balenciaga for the new fashion season
The Balenciaga Summer 2024 collection marks a deeply personal journey for Demna. Not only did he have his mother, Ella, kick off the show during Paris Fashion Week last October in a fabulously deconstructed trench coat, but he also roped in close pals like his former fashion prof, Linda Loppa, and the style critic Cathy Horyn to strut their stuff.
Unlike his last comeback show in March 2023 where everything was oh-so-polished, Demna went back to his rebellious roots, unleashing gargantuan silhouettes and resurrecting and repurposing vintage threads. And let's not forget those head-spinning accessories – picture a stiletto doubling as an evening clutch and a long wallet that's practically a passport with two travel tickets peeking out. Quoted backstage by the industry rag, WWD, he quipped, "I don’t believe in a perfect, polished, beige angora world. I think fashion should be fun. It should be playful. And I had fun this season."
