Balenciaga Blends Subcultures with Couture in Fall 2024 Collection

Demna's latest show fuses streetwear with Cristóbal Balenciaga's classic silhouettes and innovative materials.

The collection features oversized garments with a couture twist, inspired by goth, skater, and metalhead styles.
Innovative materials like upcycled plastic bags, aluminum foil, and synthetic hair are prominently used.
The final wedding dress, made from 47 meters of nylon, is designed to be ephemeral, wearable only once.
Collaborations with artists such as Ni Hao and Alastair Gibson add unique elements to the collection.
Classic Balenciaga shapes like cocoon silhouettes and three-quarter sleeves are reinterpreted with modern flair.
