Balenciaga Previews Their Experimental SS22 Collection

Since Demna Gvasalia was appointed as Balenciaga's Creative Director in 2015, the fashion house has served as a reflection of the designer’s eclectic taste. Each collection is fuelled by Gvasalia’s subversive desire to blur the lines — things like luxury and streetwear are combined seamlessly, while tailoring is transformed from a rebellious and contemporary angle.

That approach — one that defies convention in pursuit of experimentation — is one that’s brought over to the fashion house’s SS22 collection. Outerwear is cut to dramatic, oversized shapes, while retro-inspired sportswear is elevated using bold colours and luxurious branding. An experimental approach is taken to the denim, too — jeans are cut to super-relaxed fits, fitted with a bevy of pockets and detailed with silver-toned hardware throughout.
