Last night in Paris, Balenciaga unveiled the Summer 25 show, an insightful depiction of Demna's earliest experiences in fashion. Reflecting on his narrative, the Artistic Director shared, “My early memories of fashion start with me drawing looks on cardboard, cutting them out and making ‘fashion shows’ on my grandma’s kitchen table. Thirty-five years later, this show reconnects me to the beginning of my vision. It’s a tribute to fashion that has a point of view.” Uncover the full collection at https://lnkd.in/e2P9g27H
