The Balenciaga Fall 2024 Haute Couture collection is a tribute to subculture dress codes as important influences of of Demna’s fashion vocabulary, building a bridge between Balenciaga’s signature elegance and silhouette and his own personal style.

These four omnipresent codes were 3/4 length sleeves, a focus on profile of silhouette and cocoon shapes, extravagant and at times eccentric headwear and fabric innovation. Everyday wardrobe garments are lined in silk scuba satin to support

Their comfortable cocoon-like shapes. Jackets that seem be worn tied around hips are engineered into the trousers and become one garment.
T-shirt prints are oil hand-painted drawings, a flannel shirt is interpreted in a silk tuffetage embroidery, a faux fur coat is made of synthetic hair that is shaped and

Variety of garments and accessories are upcycled and reconstructed into bustier and draped body-conscious twisted gowns and an all-you-can-wear bell-shaped ball dress.

The finale piece is an ephemeral black nylon dress that only exists for the duration of one event. It is made of 47 meters of fabric and assembled by the couture atelier team in a choreographed process directly around the body of the person and is destined to be only worn once.
