Another unforgettable Balenciaga show from the designer formerly known as Demna Gvasalia. cathyhoryn reports

His spring 2020 show, staged in a parliamentary-style chamber, was an allegory about power; the next season, he confronted religious visions, with apocalyptic scenes that featured models appearing to walk on water.
Given that similar scenes are now coming out of Ukraine — of people made homeless because of Russian bombs, standing in the snow with their bundles, boarding trains for Poland and Germany — the parallels were striking and of course profoundly disturbing. In fact, Demna said backstage afterward, that the original aim of the show — planned months ago — was to reflect on climate change, that in the future people “may have to go somewhere to have an artificial experience” with snow.

That path, if I could visually express it, is like that, half-naked people walking through that wind. It’s personal. But, yes, I think it can evoke references that we see today.
Sounding a little distressed, he then revealed that during the show or the post-show clamor, someone had stolen his bag from his private dressing room and also stuffed his yellow-and-blue T-shirt into the trash can. It obviously unnerved him, and he was headed to a police station to file a report.
