"Now I only make two conferences a year and I can come and pile up a few mountains," Demna Gvasalia said yesterday. He did the same thing. At the press conference in Balenciaga, he built a huge hill full of graffiti, reminding people of Los Angeles's famous sights and the avant-garde “Salvation Moutainâ€. Avatar art is "Outsider art". Gvasalia is also an outsider with a sense of independence and is in charge of a mainstream fashion brand. He said that this season should clearly define the vision and relationship with the brand. His practice is the embodiment of the most meticulous logic, that is to return to the origin. The body is outlined in a tight black mini dress. After the opening styling, Gvasalia began to play cascading outfits, as in turn opened a Russian matryoshka. The final appearance of several models, the hoodies stacked Parka coat stacked jacket out of the "Balenciaga can represent the largest volume," he said so. final effect? Just like you put your entire wardrobe in your home. True, Gvasalia thought of refugees at the time. However, it is indeed a technical task to make it look as if it is too difficult to be worn with a large size. The valuable legacy of the founder of the brand, Cristobal Balenciaga, also includes this.
Gvasalia said that the main point of the mountain is snowboarding. He showed a lot of log shirts and tannin jackets, and it looks like the clothes worn by the snow rider just after work and the brand logo, but this time the logo was changed to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). They "Save lives and change lives." In connection with the real world, Balenciaga donated 250,000 U.S. dollars to WFP and gave the company's income to hungry people. It is not hard to imagine that the "Voters" who are so enthusiastic about Gvasalia's interaction will think about it. He also created a fictional men's band Speedhunters ("sportsman"), this season series integrated into their "periphery" designed for fans. Opening the dialogue between authenticity and irony is typical of Gvasalia.
Shameless and kitsch are also Gvasalia. There are beautiful puppies, cowboy fringes, vulgar prints, bandage dresses like baby crotch. A knife-like skirt with a furry sweater! Someone wrote in the book that this is also a look of fetishism. This also proves that Gvasalia is almost extreme humor. He has a fresh and cool point of view and will be practicing in a more interesting way in the future if he is implied by this commentary on the backstage of the show. Gvasalia questioned the upper Bourgeois class (including those brightly scorched jackets and coats and exaggerated waist and hip designs) and stated that the concept of "Bourgeois class" was outdated. "It's more about attitudes. The value of intellectual knowledge." But he is still full of curiosity about Bourgeois. I feel I smell a new series of odors.
