The Best Pieces From The Balenciaga Show
The lights at the Balenciaga show started dimming while guests were still being ushered to their seats. Suddenly a woman appeared who did not have the physique of a model started strutting down the runway with her hands on her hips, almost flamenco-style! As the camera lights illuminated her face, we realized it was none other than Lady Gaga who was working the catwalk. Before we knew it, the bass was pumping and actual models dressed in black-and-white cocoon-shaped houndstooth coats held together by a glamorous CB pin took over. The accessories at this show were amazing—pearl earrings individually clipped on the earrings worn in rows of three, and of course leather gloves! Alexander Wang’s Balenciaga woman was refined and sophisticated! Here is a breakdown of all the pieces that were the highlights/talking points from the show.
Chelsea boots — Perfect for Miss Thang strutting all over London, New York, or Paris!
Cristóbal Balenciaga initial pins for the regal touch — An homage to the brand’s legendary founder.
Pearl earrings — These are not your grandmother’s pearls! More punk rock that pretentious.
Striped fur scarf —Wrap yourself in luxury!
Clear plastic heels with royal crest-like pendant — Perplex heels with a twist!
Fur trimmed heels — These will give you happy feet.
Handbag heaven — A bucket and a satchel-esque shaped bag will last you all season long.
