Balenciaga
With a debut couture show of creative director Demna Gvasalia and the brand’s first in 52 years, the collection borrowed references from its archival roots and proved that it is more than a streetwear brand. The collection was clean, impactful, and reminiscent of the old good days of fashion.
Jean Paul Gaultier
Creative as always, Jean Paul Gaultier unfailingly manages to have avant-guard silhouettes. Returning to couture under a new designer, Sacai, the new line followed traditional upcycling and hybrid construction techniques while incorporating bold experimentation every step of the way.

The collection is reflective of regal structures and hierarchies, likening those of royals to the fashion system with its ranked seating charts. Always with a touch of humor, but always on point and always as loud and creative, the duo doesn’t stop to amaze.
