A thin, unstructured tank top dress replaced the ball gown, and a fluffy pastel nightgown replaced the coat.Dystopian notes resound through every one Balenciaga The show seemed creepy with the zeitgeist of the pandemic. The extra-large, opaque, goggle-style sunglasses on the show look almost normal in a room where most of the audience’s face is covered by a mask.
But the biggest surprise is that in many ways, this is a very traditional fashion show. The venue is the apartment used by the brand’s founder Cristóbal Balenciaga for performances, which has been transformed into a storage room in recent years.

I will like it,” he said.
