This season Nicolas Ghesquiere sacrificed his favorite futuristic theme to affectionate femininity. The designer revised all former Balenciaga collections and created the clothing line of drape skirts, sari, printed scarves and footwear that seemed to encompass all motives of the show.

Silk, velvet and sateen were major fabrics used in the collection. We also saw shoulder pads revival a la 80-s and Dynasty TV series.

Ghesquiere says his heroine is a true Parisienne. And critics defined what they’ve seen as “elegance”.
