#2. 10 years of Demna's Balenciaga: 10 pics from an exhibition at Kering

A great way to say goodbye.

Demna spent remarkable 10 years at Balenciaga, and truly made it one of the brands that is recognizable outside of high fashion world with all its shapes, irony and unconventional design. I also learnt about Balenciaga during his period, and only then started to explore deeper.

So when he left the house this year, Kering office hosted an amazing exhibition featuring the shows invitations and some of his remarkable pieces. It was there only for two weeks and it was enough reason for me to buy tickets to Paris and explore.

So, let’s enjoy some of them.

#1. A message Demna received after he applied for internship. An automated message, do not reply. And we know the story after.

#2. Invitation to Winter’22 show. A used iPhone 6.

#3. The invitation to 54 Couture show.

#4. Ikea-like leather bag.

#5. A bag with A LOT of stuff.

#6. Signature sock shoe. We saw them (and copies of them) a lot on the streets.

#7. This is how you do layering. Balenciaga way.

#8. Balenciaga couture. Summer 2002, look 1.

#9.Summer 2024, look 88. Upcycled wedding dress made of vintage wedding dresses.

#10. Summer 2022, look 64.

Thank you, Demna 🖤.

Excited to see what you do at Gucci now.
