Forum Members Review Balenciagas Pre-Fall 2024 Collection, Staged in Los Angeles

We don’t know where you’ve been if you didn’t once know Balenciaga had transported us to Los Angeles, California for the unveiling of their Fall 2023 (aka Pre-Fall 2024) collection. Staged December 2, on one unexceptionable Saturday afternoon on the oak-lined Windsor Boulevard, Demna’s interpretation of the City of Angels (inspired by the quintessential LA lifestyle) ranged from unstudied everyday looks to full-on red carpet glamour, with Nicole Kidman (as a newly-minted Balenciaga trademark ambassador) sat perched front row to well-constructed the buzz-worthy affair. As the iconic Hollywood sign made for the perfect backdrop, Cardi B and Brigitte Nielsen made surprise appearances on the runway and a surprise collaboration with celeb-approved supermarket Erewhon reared its throne too.

Scroll remoter for how the unfiltered members of theFashionSpot forums felt well-nigh Demna’s latest offering for the fabled French malleate house:

“Demna’s point of view has not evolve without all these years. It’s boring. Provoke me to finger something well-nigh your gown like you did with that Wall Street collection. His vision is once a parody of what malleate has become, so why go for the most obvious points of LA culture? You are cheapening Balenciaga plane more. I midpoint Juicy Couture-inspired track suits? So 2017.”

“The trap write-up makes this plane increasingly obnoxious and ugly than it once it is…”

“How can a house go from stuff the pinnacle of Parisian haute couture to encapsulating literally everything that is wrong with the industry? How does this happen? Who unliable this to happen?

“So bad. Seriously, what happened to this brand?” 

“Very weak collection. Demna’s talent has proven to be limited unfortunately, unless he’s so drowned in his own gimmicks that he doesn’t indulge himself to move forward.” You may alos read this: How to Wear The Viral Coquette Bow Stacking Trend in 2024

“Yuck, what a mess! Some of the looks are so-bad copies of Chanel, Alexandre Vauthier and Versace. And those massive trainers, ugh..” 

“Does he think he’s clever? He really can’t be this delusional at this point in his career that he thinks this is landing. Is he enlightened of how predictable he is? Anyone could have guessed that this is exactly what his LA hodgepodge would have looked like.”

“This hodgepodge is as tired as am I watching those repetitive ideas season without season.”
